Delta 46-250 Value?
« on: September 29, 2015, 11:45:36 PM »
The new Jet 1221VS is scheduled to arrive on Thursday!  What would y'all suggest as a Craig's List asking price for the Delta 46-250 lathe with an unused bed extension?  The Delta is not the electronic variable speed model. Thinking $150-$200 is a reasonable range? Thanks.

Why don't you keep it and put a 3 wheel buffing system (like Beall wood buff system) on it?

I thought about that or as a finishing lathe for pens and such, but I don't have enough room given the other woodworking space needs that I have in the garage shop. I have to move things around now as it is when I need to switch modes.

That's what I did. I also use it for drilling. I just use the new lathe for turning.
