I am selling my Stubby S750 woodturning lathe. I bought it from John Jordan in 2000. It is serial number 100. It is the shortbed version. For those of you unfamiliar with the early Stubbies, Omega Tool originally sold the lathe with a longer bed. John convinced them to offer a shortbed version with his name stamped on the side. I don’t think you can get the long be any longer.
