Grizzly lathe?

In the Northeast deals like this one are pretty common:

Even stuff like that doesn't show up around here. And honestly, I probably wouldn't buy that lathe. As far as I can tell, it can't be used manually.

I'm sure that the manufacturing base that the Northeast makes the used tool market very different than here.

Around here, we cut trees, grow weed, brew beer and make AR-15's. The AR business is slowing down, and some of the boutique companies located here (Noveske, Stubborn Mule and such) have laid off a bunch of people in the last few months. I think Noveske just sells hats and shirts now.

The Smithy 13-36 lathe may also be worth looking at. They seem to be a very stable business, and come with a 2 year warranty.

Also comes with a free tool pack (3 & 4 Jaw, followers, centres, taper attachment) and free shipping until the end of the month...

Thanks Millwrong, I'll check them out as well.
