I was wondering if someone could let me know what a Rockwell Inter.
46-111 wood lathe is worth. The prices that I have found are from a
1973 catalog, the lathe was $139.99, the lathe and stand was $199.99
and a 1/2 hp motor was $64.99. I haven't seen the lathe yet so don't
know the condition so I am figuring avarage condition for everything,
the prices that I come to are, lathe and stand: $75, motor: $15.00,
tools: $5.00 all totalling $95.00. Is that a fare price or should I
figure in something else? The seller is asking $350.

Although I haven't seen that lathe for
sale, there were two locally that you
can browse the ads for. Maybe that'll
give you some basis of comparison. These
ads are from Ottawa Canada.

The second one has some tools included.

I would sure take another look at that first one. It is a dead ringer
for the 46-111. It may be a variant, but that is essentially the same
lathe.

The reason you don't see that old lathe anymore is that they quit
making them about 30 years ago when Rockwell got out of the medium
sized shop tools and went to a mix of all professional heavy duty
tools, and all consumer junk.

Thank you for your suggestions and input. I really appreciate it. I
think, unless the seller comes down with his asking price to around
$100, I'm going to look elsewhere. I'm new to using lathes and don't
have a lot of money but I also don't want to pay $350 for something
that is over 30 years old and possibly a piece of junk.

Thanks again,
Gary

Gary - I am sure we are all glad to help as we can. But if you are
still following this, get over to the woodturning newsgroup:

rec.crafts.woodturning

It is carried by just about everyone and is dedicated to turning. The
archives are great and are easily searchable with Google.

I know that this comment was posted a while ago but do you by any chance still
have your 46-111 lathe and the parts to it? Or if you don't have it do you
know anybody who has replacement parts? Thanks

At some twelve years down the road, I do not think putting my phone
number on usenet (which Homeowners hub use as free content) is a smart
thing to do.

IF I were going to spend $350 on 47yr old lathe, I think I would put another $50 with it and go for the Harbor Freight Jet 1242 knock off. I have had that lathe and its serviceable. If you happen to get one of their 25% off coupons, that drops the price to around $300. BTW, that $265 in 1973 (lathe, stand and motor) would be $1,546.00 today.
