Thread: Takang tk380 lathe

Possibly a cheap lathe for the shed .... i've bought a few things off them and can be a good deal , keep in mind the buyers premium on top.

Nice. 7HP and a lot of tooling!

sold for $3270 + buyers fees of 22.5%

I purchased the Takang on behalf of a good friend that did not have internet access at the time.
The lathe is now safely housed in Richmond and should come into regular use in a few weeks.

Keen to talk to any other Takang operators out there.
We have the owner's manual which includes breakdown sketches and parts lists, but always good to discuss issues with others that have already been there.

It will be good to have access to a good sized industrial production lathe.
(As long as my friend puts in a lifting facility for the chucks !)

Keep well,
John.
