Thread: LATHE HAFCO AL54a

New Hafco AL54a, bought 2 years ago but has not been used, still in its protective grease. Was sold by Hare and Forbes with no guarantee on the motor.

Tailstock taper 2MT.
Spindle speeds 125 – 2000rpm.

Comes with 3 and 4 jaw chucks, faceplate, fixed and travelling steadies, change gears, dead centre, splash guard and drip tray.


$875.00.
Pick up only from Blue Mountains NSW.

How big is it and what do you think it weighs?
Do you have a manual?
I couldnt find it on the current hafco website

I will post weight and dimensions when I get home tonight. It does come with a manual. I don't think it was ever in a Hare and Forbes catalogue as it was superceeded by the AL54b which is identical other than being able to swing 280mm

Weight is 130Kg, dimensions 1500mm long, 450mm deep, 460mm high.

Have you ran it to see if the motor works.?
Is it 240Volt

Also, where abouts are you located.

Thanks Shane.

Yes I have run the motor and it does work, but I bought the lathe from H and F with no guarantee on the motor, the salesman told me about 50% of them have problems, so I cannot be sure it will continue to work indefinately.
The motor is 240 V.
I'm in Faulconbridge in the Blue Mts.
