A hot deal is a significant discount (including shipping) on DIY or workshop related tools, machines, clothing, books, lumber, or general interest items. Use your discretion. If you think we would be interested, post it. Please include a link, if online, a description, and the price. The discount amount in % or $$ is appreciated but not required.

Examples:
  • eBay Buy It Now (BIN)
  • Amazon sales, Deal of the Day (DOTD)
  • Amazon Warehouse Deals (AWD)
  • Sales, Coupons, Coupon Codes
  • Lowes/HD closeouts
  • Craigslist finds
  • Black Friday

NOT hot deals:
20% off HF coupon, because they are available all the time.
Cheaply made tools.
eBay auctions, because we don't know the final price until the auction ends.
Your favorite or most useful tool.
Amazon "Just Launched" sellers with very low prices (scammer)
Amazon sellers that ask you to email first (scammer)

  • What is an Amazon Warehouse Deal? It is an item with damaged packaging or the item itself may be damaged. It could have been dropped off a truck, punched with a fork truck, opened for a photograph, or a customer return. They are sold as used and the manufacturer warranty may be void. Most of the AWD I've bought were only damaged packaging but you are taking a risk. Note: just because they are sold as "used" does not mean they are actually used. Some customers scam Amazon by returning junk instead of the real product and Amazon may ship that wrong item to you.

  • Amazon '2 Left' Deals Occasionally there will be a super low price on a new item that says "Only 2 left in stock". Buy one and the last one jumps back to full price or you can buy both at the reduced price. For example you might see a $50 widget for $8, 2 Left. If you buy one, the last one jumps back to $50, or you can buy both for $8 each ($16 total).

  • Once in a great while there will be "1 left" and Amazon decides they want it gone and it will drop in price until someone buys it.

Jet JWL-1221SP Step Pulley Wood Lathe $317. Free Shipping with Prime. My local Woodcraft (Plano, TX) sent me an email for a manager special on the same lathe for $349. Should be a good starter lathe for someone, especially if you are mostly interested in turning pens or other basic spindle turning, if you are going to do a lot of turning a variable speed lathe would be a better option.

I have never turned but have been considering buying a lathe. I have been attempting with very mixed success making rings for my family and have thought this might be far easier if i bit the bullet.

Is this a good starting unit?

Do people simply put this on a table and use or do they build a stand?

Any other info would be great as it seems like a decent price.

I m assuming you quoted the wrong post and are talking about the lathe. I would highly recommending mounting the lathe to a sold station. When I have my Nova Comet ii, I mounted it to a cabinet I made with drawers to store blanks and tools and chucks and accessories in. I also mounted my sharpening station to it and then built a false base on the cabinet that I put about 75lbs of sand in to reduce vibration and to add more mass.

Thanks Rich and sorry about that. I did quote the wrong one. Hopefully fixed now. That is some good info i appreciate it. I have some additional questions but maybe I will create a different post for those. Not sure the proper etiquette but I don't want to overly flood peoples inboxes with questions that are not pertinent to deals.

@Ocelot thanks for this. I had been looking at the supermax 16-32. Wondering if you had compared the shopfox to that by chance and what drove you to this model?
