Hi Everyone.
A kind neighbour has offered a Harrison Graduate lathe, but they won't say how much they want for it, they want me to make an offer. It's single phase in very good condition, I think it's a 30" bed. It comes with a conventional tailstock and a lever operated one. There's also a bunch of faceplates and the sanding attachement.
I'm new to working in the round, so don't really have much clue about these things. Have looked a few up on line and there seems to be huge variation in price. I'd like to make an offer as it's obviously a quality bit of kit. I want to make a fair offer, not get away with as little as possible, especially as he's been so kind donating some of his planes, cramps and timber stock to me.
Also, what's the purpose of the lever tailstock? As I said, I'm a complete turning virgin.
Cheers
Simon
