This classic lathe is the ideal tool for the creative potter or hobby enthusiast who wants a manual and authentic turning experience in his ceramic workshop. The machine is solidly constructed with a sturdy, red lacquered steel frame, a large wooden flywheel disc, an integrated seating position and a small work table for tools. The flywheel itself at the bottom is operated manually with the foot, giving the potter full control over the rotational speed during the work on the clay. The heavy-duty wooden construction ensures good stability and a smooth turn while turning. The stand bears the hallmark of diligent use and has a natural patina. There are visible traces of use on all wood surfaces as well as surface rust and dehusked paint on the metal construction. These cosmetic defects are expected for used workshop equipment and testify to the machine's history and previous use. Note: Sold as viewed and without warranty.
