Looking for a used lathe to do some hobby gunsmithing. Anyone know of a place online that has used equipment?
 
Oh man, there are hundreds of used machine tool dealers on the web. Probably your best bet is to do a Google search for used machine tool dealers and pick one that is relatively close to you to save on shipping costs.

Also, I would recommend you join the rec.crafts.metalworking newsgroup and get some recommendations on reputable dealers. This link is to the FAQ of the newsgroup:

This link also has information associated with the newsgroup:

Right now is a buyers market! Lots of bankruptcy liquidations and so there are a lot of machine tools on the market.

Dear Sir:
I bought a Grizzly 12x36 several years ago and have nothing but praise for their products and warranty! It had a 3 jaw on it and it ran out .001TIR!
It was $2000.00 and $300.00 shipping; I cannot recomend it too highly.
It comes complete, 4 jaw, chucks, tapers, tools etc.
