Maybe never used, near perfect condition. Seller pays actual shipping plus fair packing charges.  RPML 300 uses a solid box section cast iron bed, very rigid and very heavy. The lathe bed is accurately machined so that the tailstock and tool rest assembly slide easily along the length of the bed. Great for bowls, baby rattles, bottle stoppers, tops, goblets, etc.  Three speeds: 540, 1140, and 2400 RPM. On small items like bottle stoppers, tops, baby rattles, and goblets, use one speed; 2400 RPM. For bowls, the other speeds are needed, especially when roughing in from a chunk. The RPML 300 has a 3/4-16 TPI with a No. 1 Morse Taper headstock and a No. 1 Morse Taper tailstock. The lathe is small, compact and hefty. It measures just 26 inches in length without the motor (space with motor is about 39 inches), but weighs 90 pounds. Its powered by a 1/3 HP electric motor using 115 vac power. The switch is prewired and ready to plug into any 110 volt three-prong grounded outlet. The spindle runs in two sealed-for-life ball race bearings. The larger of the two bearings is housed on the thrust side of the headstock. Record claims that the bearing recesses are machined to plus or minus 3/10,000 of an inch and the spindle is ground to the same tolerance. The swivel head feature allows for hollowing bowls much easier than on a regular lathe. With the RPML 300, loosen the headstock locking bolt and rotate it about 30 degrees outboard. Now, you can stand comfortably in front of the bowl while hollowing it. At this angle, you can still use the tool rest on the lathe for bowls up to about nine to ten inches in diameter... ...this is still an excellent little lathe and I believe a good buy the money. You've got some real heft, plus turning capacity up to 14 inches. Not really a portable lathe like some of the other small lathes available, mostly because of the weight. For someone with limited space, the RPML 300 gives big lathe performance in a small package and it does little lathe work well too!"
