Im very new to turning havn't even got a lathe yet, but i came across a deal i dont know how good a delta 46-460 mini for 450.00 says its only been used 30 min. Hes losing his house and needs the money and offered me the deal through a mutual friend. what do you think what do i look for to make sure its a good deal

that sounds like a great deal, that 150$ off the regular price and if it only has 30 minutes of use I can't imagine anything wrong with it.

What to look for. Might be a little too intricate.

Sounds like a pretty good deal. Should be able to tell if it's been dropped or something that would tear it up. Look it over and go for it.

Aaron - everyone has the lathe listed for $600 new - so that would be a really good deal. Let us know if you get it!
