Selling a Vicmarc VL300 EVS (Electronic Variable Speed) lather in excellent condition, and ready for a generations worth of wood turning. The machine was purchased new in 2023 and used for 2 projects. Selling due to recent health diagnosis.
Vicmarc is made in Australia and is best in class for quality and durability. The variable motor gives you up to 200% torque on low rpm and it comes with a powerful 3hp (2.2kw) motor. The three-step pulleys provide 3 ratios 1:1 for small to medium size work; 1:1.5 for medium to large work; and 1:3 for large work.
I have added the swing away tail stock system which adds 400mm of support to the bed and increases distance centers to 910mm.
Including VM130 expanding chuck, faceplate, special order tool rest which is 485mm long and standard 300mm tool rest.
I paid $6,695 for the lathe, $665 for the swing away tail, and another $600 on chucks.
