Buy a wood lathe on sale

You can save lots of cash by shopping on the internet for a wood lathe. There are lots of sites that have great prices and have free shipping as well. Amazon especially has a lot of excellent deals, and has occasional specials. This page lists several wood lathes for sale and is a good place to start looking.

It can be very aggravating running all over the place looking at the same lathes over and over again to find a good price, and the salesperson is trying to sell you on the most expensive one. On the internet you can shop around easily, and compare reviews and specs before making a decision. It's a no brainer in my opinion!
