Used NOVA 16x24 Wood Lathe Listed for Sale by Club Member
Club member Bob Milano has listed a used NOVA 16x24 lathe on the First State Woodturners classifieds, a solid mid-size machine with a 1.5HP motor and 360° swivel head.
A used NOVA 16" x 24" wood lathe hit the First State Woodturners classifieds page on March 22, posted by club member Bob Milano with full details on features, price, and contact information.
First State Woodturners is a Delaware-based nonprofit affiliate chapter of the American Association of Woodturners, and its classifieds page serves as a trusted marketplace where members can buy and sell equipment directly within the turning community.
The machine itself is a well-regarded mid-range lathe. It offers a solid 1.5HP AC motor, 16" swing capacity, and 24" between centers. The 8-speed range runs from a low 215 RPM through to a high of 3,600 RPM, giving it enough range for everything from roughing out heavy green blanks at the slow end to fine-detail spindle work at the top. Full swivel head functionality and solid cast iron components complete the package, and the 360° swivel and lock, with detent locating positions at 0, 22.5, 45, 90, and 315 degrees, makes outboard bowl work genuinely practical rather than an afterthought.
The 16" swing is also expandable to 29" outboard with an optional outrigger accessory, and the bed is expandable in 20" increments with an optional extension. That flexibility is a meaningful part of the machine's long-term value: turners who start on smaller forms can scale up without swapping machines.
The NOVA 1624 II has since been discontinued, which means used examples like this one represent a narrowing window for turners who want to get into this model. First State Woodturners offers a platform for woodturners of all skill levels to meet, showcase their work, and learn new techniques, hosting both regular meetings and community outreach events. The classifieds page reflects that same community spirit, keeping gear circulating among members rather than disappearing into general resale markets.
Anyone interested in Bob Milano's listing can find the contact details on the First State Woodturners classifieds page, where the ad appeared on March 22, 2026.
