[Woodworkers] Have a chance to trade for a Walker-Turner lathe

[Clint Warren via Woodworkers]

Thanks Joe.  I would be very happy if it turned out to be like the one in the picture.


I am anxiously awaiting more info from him.  I'll pass on any pictures when I get them.

On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 7:05 PM, Clint Warren asked us to gaze into a crystal ball:




​<part where Clint sold his RAS snipped> He said that he has a Walker Turner lathe that he would trade for the saw.  
 
I don't know a model yet. Anything I should be wary of?
Yep.  ​Anything broken, missing or cobbled together.  Does the motor and drive work easily?  Does it come with any tooling; centers, tool rests, chucks, etc.? Like doesn't use standards so no readily available accessories work or something like that.

​In lathe speak, other than morse tapers, there is no such thing as "standards".  Yes, the head stock could have a standard thread for a face plate or whatever, but the shaft length could be 6" on one lathe and 16" on another.  I would have to see this lathe to be more informed.  I can definitely say WT made some really nice tools.  Hopefully your lathe will be this model...

​but, I really need to see pics of the one you may be getting. We settled on $250 for the saw, which as a trade doesn't seem like a bad deal if it is a decent lathe.
​Sorry, someone smeared grease on my crystal ball. ​
