Anyone have any working familiarity with Lignotec's line of lathes? I know their moisture meter but was surprised to find this while web browsing:

That's some pretty cool stuff they have on that lathe. Really packages some features of ornamental turning and milling into a neat little package. I saw a pic of an application where they had one of the jigs on a Oneway, but didn't see any sort of ordering/application pages.
Looks like a well built lathe if you're in UK, Germany or Sweden!

the ad stated that the head stock can be turn to any position desired, do this included vertical ?

That design would appear to need a flat floor, certainly wouldn't work in my basement shop.

Just for giggles I sent them an email asking the price of the CE model with the 1.5Kw motor. I love how wide the ways are on that thing!

i dont know about you guys,maybe its just the way i looked at the pictures, but i think it needs wider legs. i swear ive seen this lathe before on some videos and it looked pretty good though

Cost for the iron version with the 1.5Kw motor (3hp I believe) is €5568 or $7221 Cdn, plus shipping from Sweden.

i better buy another lottery ticket, really has some nice add ons, i have a feeling the standard model does not have much besides faceplates and toolrest, but the whole package i would like to be much younger to take advantage of it
i was surprized at how small the legs width seem compared to say a robust
