Luna Lathes?

[Jake Helmboldt]

Can anyone tell me about a Luna lathe? There is one for sale locally but I can't find any info on them. I did see one picture online and it looks really modern. The guy wants $300 for it. This would be my first lathe so I'm kind of flying blind.

I took a class with a guy who had one. I think they are Swiss. I think you can expect high quality. The man who owned this one wasn't the type to buy anything cheap. He was Estonian and may have felt comfortable with a european machine. The drawback might be in the spindle size. Try to find out what it is and look around and see if there are alot of accessories available.
