“VL300 is among the best wood lathes of not the top one. I needed an extra Camlock assembly (banjo), so I mount 500mm extension on the Headstock side and run outboard turning for bowl production. Works incredibly well, just have to run the lathe in reverse for outboard.
Camlock came within two weeks onto the USA, well packaged, no damages, no tariffs as of July 2025.”
“For smaller woodturning jobs the Vicmarc 150 is superior to all other commonly available brands of midi lathes. It's solidly constructed, has all the features required, has a range of readily available accessories, and most importantly, it's made in Australia by a reputable family company.”
