Fisch Mini/Midi Lathe for sale in southern NJ
 

I am buying a duplicator from a private seller in Southern NJ and he also has a NIB Fisch Midi Lathe for sale for $150 with a bed extension.

This Fisch Lathe is a great deal for someone just getting into plug making. It is better quality than the harbor Freight lathes for less money.

He is selling me a slightly used Vega 36 " Duplicator which he used to make baseball bats from Ash and maple for college and pro players. He would sell custom bats for $50 and he shared with me his bat making secrets.

This is a great little lathe, very quiet and very easy to use, assembly is minimal,about 10 minutes, is an excellent bowl turning machine and with the purchase of a 3 jaw chuck you will have an extremely versatile turning center.

I wanted to buy a lathe to turn spindels for some Windsor Chairs I was planning to build. The space in my basement woodshop is limited and I did not want to invest a lot of money in a large machine. The Fisch is a great little lathe. With the bed extension, I was able to turn chair legs and arm spindels. I have built over a dozen chairs and the lathe has been excellent-very quiet and smooth operation with plenty of power. I would highly recommend this lathe as an entry level model or to anyone doing light duty turning
