Graziano lathe

[dlane]

sounds italian, one came up on CL in Chico / oroville, CA $300. Any one have experience with them
Said motor replaced with low speed ?
Just wondering

I've heard of them , and saw pictures, but no other first hand experience. From the picture it looked to be well made but model I don't know either. If they make many sizes may be worth checking out for that money I sure would.

Graziano lathes are Italian, very high quality. $300 does not sound right, unless it is actually a good one and the seller does not know what it is worth.

the seller claims that the lathe has a low RPM motor, and is not fully functional
i'd snatch it for 300 and buy or make whatever it needs
but i'm hardly the voice of reason

If I had room I would be all over that one. Looks a bit rusty in spots, but worth the price. Looks like about a 16x30 or so.

You're not over there yet? You're a lot closer than I am.

if i didn't already have a full boat, i'd have it in the trailer already!

They had one at the local CC. Yup, Italian. It wasn't fully functional though IIRC, threading gearbox or apron issues, or both, I forget, couldn't get parts. Only metric threading too I believe. Looked to be a nice lathe. Be sure to check if everything works & if parts are available.

Sag 12. Nominal 12" swing, but actually bigger. Talvare on H-M is a friend and has a nice Sag 14. Gorgeous machine. I would take it over any Hardinge or Monarch.
