>I am relatively new to woodturning and am looking to purchase a used mini lathe. I have tried a couple of local clubs and the internet (Ebay), but have not had any success. Anyone have any other sources where can I look?

>I agree with Fred, not going to find anything less money or it is going to be close to new within a few dollars...Mine was 2 years old and sold for 200.00 sight unseen...Dennis

>If you have a locale Woodcraft,check with them.They usualy use many in their turning classes,and sometimes sell them after a while.But expect to face problems with any used tool.Sometimes you wind up sinking money into it that excedes it's worth,like bearings or a motor in a lathe.If you can find a deal on the Jet minis at $199.00 or so,you will be better off in the long run.Good luck.
