Description

Rockwell Delta 46-111 Wood Lathe Auction This auction is for a cast iron lathe bed and a motor. This does not include a workbench. Included in the auction: • Lathe bed • Motor • All accessory items as per the photos. (not the photos showing example only) All items are in good working order, though there is some surface damage and rust. A few locking nuts are not original, as shown in the image with the wooden piece attached to the locking handle. However, everything is fully functional. This heavy cast iron wood lathe is suitable for reasonably large DIY woodturning projects. If you search for the Rockwell Delta 46-111 model number, you will find plenty of information about this classic and reliable machine. This setup is ideal for someone who is serious about woodturning or already has some knowledge in the craft. To use these items, you will need to build a sturdy workbench for the lathe bed and motor to be mounted on. As shown in the auction images, this is not a complicated process, as long as the bench is stable and strong enough to support the components. The weight of the motor provides sufficient belt tension for proper operation. I am happy to offer guidance and advice to the buyer. As mentioned, there are many great examples available online for reference. Also, an example of a leg that I turned on this machine.
