THANKS

Sean,
The comm lathe has just about become a dinosaur anymore with brushless taking over. Unless your area still has some racers refusing to move forward you'll need to get what you can get out of it. We dumped all of our $250 comm lathes with diamond bits for $75 about 4 years ago when brushless first hit. Now the prices have dropped on those who still kept there old lathes. $50 bucks is about as good as it will probalbly get with a carbide bit.

45~65 (with shipping) is the average range even with a diamond bit. Toss in a slave motor to make it more enticing.. and that's about that.
ps, shipping would be around 10$ and under, if its under 2lbs, use standard box. if its over 2lbs, use a flat rate box for around 8.75ish....
good luck
