Found this on Craigs List, http:// minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/tls/1453533711.html
This is the Delta midi-lathe with extension -
What should a delta midi lathe go for? To me this seems a little high. Thoughts?
This would be my first lathe, I have been looking at getting a new Jet- 1642 and that maybe the way I will go but saw this and thought I may get my feet wet without to big of a outlay for a lathe. I would think I would outgrow this to fast but I'm not really smart enough to know.
For a smaller lathe like this I dont see a use for the bed extension?
For now I would lilke to turn some of those nice bird houses that I have seen here, can cooler, etc.
My thought was if I buy it for the right price I should be able to sell it without to many issues.
Should I run away?
Stick with my orginal plans?
Is this thing even worth .10cents?
Thoughts?
Thanks, Jay
