Clausing Lathe Saskatoon: $2950

[calgaryguy]

Dunno if its a 'deal' at $2950 asking, but looks super clean at least. Compared to the Hercus 260 that just sold at the YYC aution for 2850 and fees this might be a 'deal'?.

no description of what's included - perhaps the owner doesn't realize that a big chunk of the value is in what's included... -- Or nothing is included, as everything else has sold. Not common, but possible.

Well it has a tail stock. Been listed for a month though.

 

[Scattered Parts]

It has been for sale off and on for several months. Lots of money for very little information.

that's a red flag.

If you look more you see lathe is pictured in a store, with another lathe behind it. So maybe a business sale?

 

[Scattered Parts]

According to the postal code, it is in a commercial/light industrial area of Saskatoon so likely a business. Explains the full retail price.

No gearbox either.

No gearbox either.

Oh good catch.

 

[Scattered Parts]

But the paint is nice.

 

[calgaryguy]

Doing some reading on these small Clausing lathes and the QC gearbox was seemingly optional?

 

[Tom O]

Nice to have though

 

[calgaryguy]

Oh absolutely I would think.

Im seriously considering skipping the intro lathes like this and saving my kruggerands and import a SM13" from Ontario. Looking at their relatively sane kijiji prices today...
