Does anyone have any good websites for hunting down used woodworking equipment? In particular, I'm hunting for a Powermatic lathe. I've been watching the classifieds in woodweb and sawmill creek. I use searchtempest a lot also. Any other suggestions?

Looks horrible but maybe with some some TLC (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Powermatic-Wood-Lathe-Model-45/153048431830?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.M BE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131231084308%26meid%3D0a29bd 9abc464e6892790cff66e2337d%26pid%3D100010%26rk%3D6 %26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D152334965695%26itm% 3D153048431830&_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109):

I should of mentioned that I am looking for the newer Powermatic model 3520. I want to do some bowl turning and the old model 45s and 90s just don't have enough swing.

I see...
FWIW, I have a Canadian General 260 lathe (25" diameter swing) and very happy. Super sturdy machine.
Not sure what you want to spend but here is an example, pobably long gone: http://www.aawforum.org/community/index.php?threads/general-260-electronic-variable-speed-wood-lathe-2500-littleton-co.13436/

Another is www.theequipmenthub.com

just do a web search if you know what model you want. If anyone has that model for sale it will show up. put used in your search though.

Thanks everyone. I eventually found a 3520A model on www.ncwoodworker.net (http://www.ncwoodworker.net) which is a woodworking forum. Picked it up in Chapel Hill, NC yesterday. Now I just have to rearrange half my shop to make room for it!
