Wdakin BL150 gap bed lathe

[neilfreemandesign]

I've had this lathe for years and now need to sell it due to lack of space, however I don't know what it is worth. It's in very good condition and has a three jaw chuck with seperate extra jaws to hold the inside of a bowl base. There is also a four jaw chuck, 14" dia faceplate, 8" faceplate outside turning rest for the end of the lathe.

There is also the gap bed which means you can turn 18" pieces, standard is 9". On the rear toolrest you can turn 22". I've even got the otiginal manual for it.

Anyone able to give me a rough idea of what I could get for it. I'll probably stick it on ebay and wanted to set a safe reserve price.

Cheers

Neil

Is it single or 3 phase ?

motor size in HP ?

photos ?

they do come on ebay time and time again , there is one on there all the time
He wants a £1500 starting bid :shock:

If you want it gone best to set a low reserve and let the woodturners of the UK decide what its worth , may be better to sell it with 1 chuck and sell the others o there own :wink:

hmmmm.......

I think you've gone a bit over the top at £999 start bid. How long have you had it - suddenly it's not a BL150 ? And when you say standard diameter over bed is 9" - have you ever used this lathe, or measured it?

I put the lathe on ebay last night at .99p. Take a look at see what you think. I'll let the woodturners decide the right price!
