Hi all,
I'm looking to buy a 12x36 or a 13x40 full size lathe that would work well for cue building. I initially figured a budget of about 3000-3500 for a Grizzly 12x36 but was willing to bump up to 4000-4500 for a 13x40. Well, come to find out, Grizzly is completely out of stock on all their larger lathes for at least a few more months. I started checking around and it seems that a LOT of lathe suppliers are out of stock on this size of "hobby priced" lathe.
Anyone have any ideas on where to get a full size lathe in those price ranges? It's driving me nuts that I can't seem to find a new one for sale. I tried Grizzly, Jet, Shopfox, Harbor Freight, umm... a few others ... they are either out of stock or out of the price range.
Thanks for any leads.
