"I don’t know how to use it and don’t want to learn, cane with house we bought and I’ll stick with woodworking. "

Yeah, it may take a while for him to to sell it with a starting price in that neighhborhood, ya think?

It’s an interesting design. Sliding bed, extra long cross slide.

Obviously he's taking a WAG on the price- 500 or 5000

I like the outboard cross-slide support. I've never seen one like that.

Not too uncommon on gap lathes.

might be lucky to get someone to take it for free!

I'm surprised that the seller didn't say "rare!", which is always an indicator of overblown expectations, or that you'll buy into the delusion of great value.

I expect that it is quite rare! But it still is a POS
