It's a bit steep especially for a sleeve bearing model which I think tend to fetch less than the Timken ones

Looks clean, but also shows wear on the ways. You never know, he might get it, but definitely not from me.

C'mon, it's got a Williams boring tool.

Sad thing is that with the spiffy paint job and pretty pics, he'll suck some new guy into paying him his price. When you don't know anything, pretty counts.

I think he dropped his price from his original listing. First time I saw that lathe on CL, I recall it being listed at $4000. That's just $666 per inch of swing!

WOW!

$2000 is too high even in Canada (where tools are generally more expensive), I see the same lathe for $800-$1200 . I just saw a clean South Bend (9A) for $1400 which is around $1200 USD.:

6" Atlas's go for under $1000.00 around here. Guys like that forget that with a $2000.00 (or $4000.00!) lathe
budget, a person can buy a lot more machine. Be interesting to see how low he drops his price before it sells.

I paid $300 for my 9x5 Seneca Falls Star and it's way more machine than that....
