<div><span style="font-size:13.3333px">I've got a Delta 1460 from the late 40's or 50's, with cast iron legs.. These are great spindle lathes.</span><br>

</div>
<div><span style="background-color:transparent;font-size:10pt">I buy and sell these all the time. I just sold one to a neighbor with cast iron legs and new bearings for $350.00.. He got a real deal..</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color:transparent;font-size:10pt"><br>
</span></div>
<div>You see the cast iron legs on Ebay all the time for $200-$300.</div>
<div><br>
<div><span style="background-color:transparent;font-size:10pt">They are considered a 12" lathe but if you take into consideration the height of the tool banjo, you really turn something about 10: in diameter.</span><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>They are readily available on Craigslist and Facebook Market place if you are patient.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have paid as little as $125.00 for one and as much as $400.00.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>They are easy to replace the bearings and the bearings are cheap.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've turned legs, spindles, a two part newel post, bowls and platters on mine.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I can't say enough good things about them.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you would like to discuss it further, reach out to me on the back channel and I'll give you my cell number.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope this helps.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I have a little Jet 10x14 lathe with a lathe extension that works great for small pieces and stores away easily. I had a Jet 12x36 for a long time and made a lot of pieces on that. Sooo much better than the HF lathe I had for a few months. I now have a Grizzly G0733 lathe (18x47). Unfortunately, it is still sitting in the packing crate. Sometimes life happens...

<div>What size lathe are you looking for? What swing? Distance between centers? electronic variable speed or change belts? You can get a really good mini-lathe for under a grand, or a mediocre floor lathe for the same. I've got three right now. </div>
