Here are some pics of a lathe that I picked up on E..Y. It is a 10 year old Record CL3-48. Included were several accessories . The bowl turning set up, a very versatile chuck set, and the stand. It is a very well made unit crafted in England. The fit and finish is really superior to the stuff out of Asia.
Pics are for the picture police.

I have the same lathe for over ten years. I now own 4 different lathes, including a MiniMax copy lathe, I often pick the Record for fast set up and quick turning. Good luck with it. I think the Record is one of those hidden treasures.

Thanks for the encouragement. I did some on line research and it looked like a good solid machine. I was surprised when I saw it. Even better than I thought. Where do you get parts? I was wondering about the "special" spindle oil they sell.

HEY....EXCUSE ME!!!!!!
The Turning Forum is further down the page (where it belongs). Please don't clutter up this forum with NON-REAL woodworking tools. You spinny folks always want to hog the spotlight.
Please don't hurt me.
Seriously, congrats on the new tool! Did you say that it was TEN years old? I don't know much about lathes (read: "nothing") but that thing looks BRAND spankin' new! Just like the rest of your shop/showroom. Where did you find the sawdust to spread around? (Just teasin' again) Looks like you got the big bag of extra swag as well. WTG!

It takes a brave man to talk trash like that to a bunch of folks who make bonkers and other implements of destruction just for fun.
Looks like a great lathe setup CPeter. We'll be looking forward to seeing some finished stuff from it soon.

Nice grab CPeter.
I'll be down in your neck-o-the-woods in a couple weeks to p/u my Jointer in Limerick. Maybe we can grab a coffee.
You HAVE seen the Crescent in Uncle Henry's, haven't you?
