I live in the machine desert that is FL...
Been patiently looking online for half a year and nada.
12" -14" swing, 5c capable/short spindle for rifle barrels, prefer 36" -40" btw centers but not mandatory.
The thought of buying a lathe through a reseller, or at auction where I cannot physically inspect/run under power scares the crap outta me, but seems I have no choice.
Is buying through a reseller any "safer" than auction?
