Hi, Depending on your location I have a used VL300 that is for sale at half the price of a new one
You could come and have a look if required
I am in Boston Links
I am in Wales, somewhere around 5 hours from you
I used to have a van that would have fit any lathe inside but im a car driver these days and I dont think my little motor would cope with bringing that back..
we talking around the 3K mark ? does it come with accessories / chucks etc?
I was looking at possibly visiting Simon Hope, he has both lathes there and the VL300 is just under 6K but thats a 5 1/2 hour drive for me
I dont know any other local turners so that might be the best thing to do. go and pry around their workshops
