Good Deal On A Used Lathe?

[Gene Hintze]

Nova DVR XP with Oneway Stronghold chuck, bed extension, Outboard Turning attachment and shop built stand. The lathe is six years old and the owner reports no problems with it. $1200. Good deal or not?

[J.D.Redwine]

One vote for good deal.

Outboard Turning attachment.....is it the kind thats freestanding and braced by lathe or is it the kind that goes on lathe toolrest to extend the toolrest outboard so when you turn the headstock you can turn.....if its the later, i personally do not like that type of outboard turning attachment so that's a negative, had one on a delta and just my opinion but do not care for it

I vote good deal assuming all is in reasonable condition. I would certainly jump at it if it were local.

[Andrew Arndts]

Get it that is about $3.5K of goodies brand new

[Alan Trout]

Good deal for sure.

[Allan Ferguson]

The out board turning unit from NOVA is a solid useable item, heavy and well built as compared to other makes that also attach to the lathe. I have one and do use it when needed.

[Gene Hintze]

Forgot to add that a bowl steady rest is also included. Based on feedback so far looks like this is a winner. Going to look at it Wednesday - with my checkbook.

Sounds like a great deal to me. I've had my DVR XP for 7 years and I couldn't be happier with it.

[Alan Trout]

I would take cash, and if you can, get there sooner. it might disappears. That to good of a deal to pass up.

Sounds like a great deal. I bought a used Nova DVR 3000 & paid $1000.00 for it a couple of years back. Definately worth the price.

[Bill Bulloch]

A friend of mine just bought a used DVR XP for $1200.00 without any attachments. He is happy with his purchase, so you should be exuberant with this deal. Get it.

[Sid Matheny]

Jump on it before someone else does! I love my DVR-XP.

Good luck!

I don,t know anything about the nova lathe, but that sounds like a good deal to me,whish it was closer. I am looking for a 1642 for around $1500 but that might be hard. Byron

I bought a 1624-44 last year and couldn't be happier, it's a very well built machine. The Nova machines are an excellent value IMO, the Nova DVR XP is currently on sale at our local Woodcraft store selling for $1900.00, that's $500 off their normal retail of $2399....I agree with the rest, if the used DVR lathe is well maintained, it's a incredible value...

[Gene Hintze]

I am now the owner of a Nova DVR XP lathe with a whole pile of extras included. I look forward to giving a spin this weekend.

[Steve bellinger]

Gene you've been here long enough to know. NO pics didn't happen.:)

[Bernie Weishapl]

I say good deal. Best deal I have seen on all you mentioned is about $2900. I have the outboard and use it all the time. It bolts on the headstock end of the lathe.

Congrats on your new lathe. Now it is time to have some fun and enjoy.
