    Need a Rikon lathe?

    Craft Supplies sent me an e-mail today that they'll be selling off their demo lathes after the Utah and Richmond AAW symposiums - for $600.00 off the MSRP. Here's the link: http://editor.delivra.com/vo.aspx?Fi...MailID=4694145.

    I think this is the re-birth of the Woodfast lathe. Both of our Clubs have one. One of the Club got rid of it. Wood chips fall between the ways, hinder the movement of the banjo and difficult to clean out. The stand also has a narrow front and back spread.
    For the regular price of $2800, I will take a mustard on any day. I may even take the 2 HP Jet 1642 and use the excess money on other tools.
