Hi all,
I am about to purchase my first rod lathe & wondering if anyone here uses the rod lathe advertised by MO Tackle, Coffs Harbour NSW, page 129.
I believe the brand is actually Pacific Bay & is distributed by Wilson.
It doesn't actually state wether it has a drying motor as well.
Any help,
Regards,
Brian
Brian,
You better check out my front page before you do anything.

Ross. www.therodworks.com.au
Thanks for that Ross,
Apart from the brand name, there appears to be no difference between the two. ( except for the $275.00 price difference )
I assume you or your rod builders are using your advertised Alps brand lathe for your brilliant rods.
Cheers,
Brian
I use one and find it great. I have upgraded the chuck to a solid alloy for more strenght when making cork handles.

Graham,
Is it the Pacific Bay ( Wilson ) you use or the Alps from Rodworks. Both look identical, exact features, $275.00 less from Ross at Rodworks.
Cheers,
Brian
