Owner Offers Brand New Harvey T-60S Lathe with 20-inch Extension

A brand new Harvey T-60S woodturning lathe, fitted with a 20-inch extension bed, was offered for sale by its owner in a classified listing posted January 24, 2026. The seller asked $5,000 and noted the comparable new price at roughly $5,800 when taxes and shipping are included, making this a direct-owner opportunity for turners looking to add capacity without buying through a dealer.

The listing was placed in the tools category on a classifieds site and included images and contact instructions typical for Craigslist. The seller explained the machine is too large for their workspace and they are seeking a smaller model, and they offered delivery and setup depending on buyer location. Including a 20-inch extension bed effectively increases the lathe’s between-centers capacity by 20 inches, a practical benefit for bowl turners and those who work on longer spindles or segmented projects.

For local and regional turners, this listing matters because it combines near-new condition with owner-to-owner pricing and possible delivery and setup support. Buyers who need extra capacity can save on dealer markups and often avoid waiting for factory shipping. The inclusion of images and the seller’s willingness to deliver reduce friction for buyers who want to see the machine in person or have it installed for immediate use.

Verify condition and paperwork carefully before committing. Ask the seller for the original purchase receipt, warranty status, and the lathe’s serial number for manufacturer verification. Inspect the headstock, tailstock, bed ways, and toolrest surfaces for storage or transit wear visible in the photos. Confirm what accessories are included and whether the seller will perform the setup level and test-turn before finalizing the sale. Clarify delivery terms, whether the seller will set the lathe level, mount the extension, and demonstrate basic safety checks.

This kind of owner-offer can be a fast way to upgrade shop capacity, but classified listings move quickly. Contact the seller through the post’s provided instructions, arrange an in-person inspection if possible, and prepare to negotiate based on condition and what is included. For anyone with limited space, the seller’s reason for selling also serves as a reminder to measure shop footprint before buying a larger bed extension or lathe.
