Harbor Freight Wood Lathe. The stand is easy to set up and provides reliable support during lathe work. Harbor Freight buys their top quality tools from the same factories that supply our competitors.

I am extremely interested in wood turning and am hoping to purchase a lathe in the next couple weeks.
It is not a variable speed control but a method that allows you to change the speed by lever which means you do not have to pull the cover and change pulleys and belts.
Cast iron steel construction and nonslip rubber feet for reduced vibration. We could have chosen many other brands or share the ideas for you randomly, but wanted to make. Is a Harbor Freight lathe good?
