Guess I should have been more specific. Wood lathe. The harbor freight ones aren’t bad, the need to swap belts around for rpm changes isn’t ideal but they’re an option. He would look at a used HF one if the price was right.
Good thing you clarified cuz my brain instantly defaulted to metal and I've been keeping my eyes peeled.
The lathe Harbor Freight sells is reasonable. What gets the price up is the tooling and cutting tools plus it needs to be mounted on a sturdy base. One rest that is over the standard 4" can run into some serious money. Steady rests are expensive.
I've got a small Sears brand one that someone can have if you're willing to come to Stillwater to get it, send me an email if you're interested
