I’m not familiar with this lathe so I had to do a search. It appears to be a solid enough lathe but looking at the pictures online there seem to be several different versions? Obviously it also depends on condition.

Totally agree with Paul for £700 with a chuck etc. it is a good deal and a very nice lathe for it's class. Lock levers can be extended.

Only question you need to ask is will it turn the diameter / length you want to spin, and will it fit into your workshop.

The lathe is approx 10" swing so the motor power is about right for what it is.
Looking at what you get for £700 these days, yes I think it's worth it especially if you are getting chucks etc. as part of the package.
My club has one of these and my only complaint is that the cam lock levers on the tailstock and banjo are too short. They need an extended handle to give more leverage to lock tighter.

Hi All,

I have the opportunity to buy a VL100 lathe with EVS, does anyone have any opinions on whether this lathe is worth it?

Price would be around £700 and comes with chuck and lots of centres.

My concern is that it will be too low power?

Thanks

For Sale / Wanted / Axminster AT2030 3hp lathe SOLD
« Last post by Bodger on March 01, 2024, 12:14:58 PM »
I have decided that I would like a different lathe so am selling my Axminster AT2030 that has the same specification as the rebranded Axminster AP508WL.  This is a robust, powerful and heavy lathe but it divides into a number of parts for transportation. I use it on a daily/weekly basis and it is in excellent condition. It is a great lathe but for a number of reasons I would like a change. I am in Kent. If you have any questions please send me a message.
Now sold

Sorry for the late reply, been having problems with logging on. I'm afraid that the Multistar Chuck ended up in the bin. I had no response for months so binned it.

There is a basic constitution in the AWGB club startup pack - ask your regional rep for a copy.
