Really?
Mine was only $600, including collets, a 5-HP static 3-phase converter, & a turret attachment.

Mine was 200, the most basic wood lathe I could find. It was the only thing I liked in shop at school, and I figured I needed a hobby, what with how old I am. I have yet to get 'er set up, but I have a room in the basement ready and waiting. Have to build a stand.

Yours looks great. May father used a metal lathe from by brother's machine shop to fulfill his habit.

What will you build, fix, do with yours?

I have no specific projects for it yet.
But I'll likely need custom screws, nuts & bolts (old pattern with high
heads & unusual thread pitches). I've done some wood turning too.
The only wood lathe of mine up & running was made in 1846-47.
It's treadle powered.

Nice. I'll google for a picture of one like that. What carpenters could do before electricity never fails to amaze me.
