OK found that on eBay and that sort of figure is far too much for what is on offer.Hillz1985":23coep6s said:He's advised me that he will for £250-£350 below is his advert
Most of the tools, except a set of small looking Sorbys, look pretty poor quality and the few other accessories aren't really worth getting excited about.
You can get some good bargains on eBay, but this isn't one of them.
The Tyme lathes, Avon & Cub, are good though at the right price. Well engineered, solid and reliable, their main drawback is obscure headstock threads which means getting accessories like faceplates and chucks might be awkward, but you don't have a lot of choice.
As everyone else has said, take your time and get good kit at the right price to start with. Woodturning can become almost an obsession and if funds are tight you need to be careful to spend them wisely.
