Craftex Metal Lathe CT089

[PiperWatchdog]

Hi everyone,

I am looking to sell my father's Craftex CT089 metal lathe (13" x 24"), originally purchased from Busy Bee Tools. Machine was well looked after.

Selling for $1500. I'm located in East Van (Vancouver, BC). Would have to be pick up!



Thanks!

I wish you were in east Toronto instead of east Van.
It would already be in my trailer

Damm, that is cheap - I sold my 089 like 7 years ago for over $2000. Today I would easily ask for over $3000.

Too bad you are not selling in April - I may be in Vancouver area then and I would have picked it up to get it to Calgary.

What tooling does it come with?

Machine was well looked after.

That piece of plywood in the top pic says that X 10.

Real estate often sells for considerably more than the asking price.

PiperWatchdog - keep it plugged in so a buyer can confirm it is fully operational

Check out LTL shipping using Manitoulin, you might be surprised. Maybe someone nearby will palletize it for you.

Could one send a deposit and pick it up in say 6 weeks?

I saw this machine listing and
I responded right away, said I was interested. The person replied a day after I had met Lana on the 28th and said it had sold.
Im sure it went to a good home

 

[Lapua]

Is this the same lathe/newer version or are they different?

I was actually surprised at the new price, that's pretty cheap(on sale anyways)

It is a good price on sale. But I don't think it has power feed. That's a really big feature to give up. It might use the lead screw for lengthwise feed but still no cross-slide. I'd check on that before getting too excited.

I'm not in the market anyways I just thought it would be more then that new

It is a bit "bare bones" lathe - its a repainted 089 lathe I used to have. Motor has been upgraded - and could actually go up to 2hp the original 1hp was anemic.

Change gears. No cross feed and only horizontal feed with lead screw. Few speeds.

Its a good basic lathe.

Price for it was excellent - like free.

Im very happy this one slipped away and I got Lana instead

With a quick look, the cx709 looks like a lot of lathe at comparatively less $ - but as said above, they deleted basic things including a threading dial and also everything is powered by the lead screw (no secondary rack)

I believe it's the exact same lathe, with an upgraded motor.
