I know it's a long shot but if anyone near Asheville, North Carolina has a lathe that they are wanting sell. I am buying. I would be willing to drive around 100-150 miles for the right machine. Also, it is for my father who lives in Chapel hill so anywhere near that would work as well.
He has an old delta benchtop lathe (46-701) and wants to upgrade to something that he can turn larger pieces on. i'd say at least 16" swing but more would be better and especially if it has the ability to do outboard turning. We just got outbid on a Jet 1640 EVS that he was pretty excited about so anything in that range is what we are looking for. I have a PM3520A that I was lucky enough to get on the used market at a reasonable price and I'm hoping that I can find something similar for my dad!
Please PM me if you have anything you would like to sell or know of anything in the southeast.
Thanks!
Charlie
