A new member of our chapter, who is also a new turner, has asked for my help. He has seen a used Woodfast M408H for sale for $1500, and asked my opinion of it. I'm not familiar with that particular lathe, but from a picture of it, and the sale write up is says "variable speeds." My guess is that it's not an actual variable speed lathe, but just has 5 or 6 belt-change speeds. Anyone know for sure.
Also, it's a fairly short bed. Will it take a bed extension?
From my web searches, I haven't found out much more. I thought I'd ask people on this forum for any input.
What can you tell me about this lathe? It's located about two hours away, and before we make the trip to inspect it, I wanted to do some research.
Thanks
