Hi all,

I want to buy a Harbor Freight Mini Lathe 4"x5". Does anyone have one for sale, preferably in Los Angeles, CA.

thanks,

Are you sure it's a 4" x 5"? AFAIK, there ain't no such animal. Do you really mean the 7"x10/12/14" lathes?

He is right, they used to exist. They cleared them out about a year ago.

These are discontinued. So, I am looking for a used one. The Sherline lathes are nice but it's a big investment as a first unit on this new hobby.

Kinda sucks missing out on the $75 micro, eh?

I see 7x10s on craigs list every now and again. You could build a 4x5 with it,..
