Placed another Want Ad here for the Nova Ornamental Turner, after about 3 years sporadically placing "WTB" Ads on several woodturning/woodworking sites I FINALLY got a PM Reply !

Actually I got 2 of them here. (Recent want ad was totally deleted not sure why)

2 people replied and emailed me pics of their Nova OT's and I suddenly had a Choice. 😎
After looking on and off for so long I Never expected 1 reply let alone 2-3.

Both units had Most of the Accessories as well.
First one that sent me pics was used only 1 time then had sat up on a shop shelf.
Second one that sent me pics, well his had never been used, in fact he had never even opened the shipping box it all came in when it was ordered on October 10, 2007.😱

And the asking price was less than the other one. Needless to say, I bought the one that was Brand New in the Sealed box and got a Great price for it all.

The original packing list lists as such-
The packing list indicates that the below items were ordered Oct 10, 2007

Below is the itemized packing list that came with the system.

Only two accessories not included, a Blank Cutter and the Deluxe 2 position Tool Post.

Nova says a "larger bed clamp plate is required" for the PowerMatic 3520b lathe.
So I need to get that for my 3520b.

I emailed Nova several days ago but have not got a reply yet.
(If anyone has it please post some pics of it please.)

FedEx Tracking says it should be delivered this Saturday.😀

Thanks alot Ernest.(Ernest sold me it.)🙂

This should be fun to play with once I get it setup on my lathe.

I did setup the other seller with a buyer so his was also sold and the buyer and I are gonna exchange what we learn using it with each other.
So that should ease the learning curve some. Hopefully. lol

Here are some pics of the one I bought. The original shipping box was opened to take these pics to show me it all.

Anyone who also has one please contact me, i'd love to hear from you and see what all can be done with it. Tips Tricks would be nice as well.

Thanks for looking, and again Thank You Ernest.

And Thanks to you John as well, and glad my buddy bought yours.

John is being modest, but because of him I will be getting an ornamental turner as well!

Of course Scott Hubl set up the meeting between us. John was very good to deal with and I can't wait to receive mine.

Thanks to Scott and big thanks to John for selling it!
