Shop Fox W1758 Wood Lathe 16" X 43"

Can't speak for that model, I have a the smaller benchtop with the extension bed. As they are produced in the same place, I can give you a general feel for it. Overall, I'm satisfied with it. The belt threading tore within 2 hours of use and wouldn't stay in place afterwards. New belt has had no issues in two months of use. The finish was a little sloppy, but mechanically it does the job. Mine is underpowered for heavy-duty turning I've learned, but I like it for the purposes I got it.

FYI: There is a store called WoodZone in Columbia that carries ShopFox machines. Woodzone.com. Karl and Colleen (Lumberlady is her LJ name) own it. They discounted a sharpening system when I bought the Lathe. I give serious consideration in calling them as they are very straightforward about the products. I never touched a lathe until a few months ago and they walked me through what I needed. They actually set me up with some less expensive turning tools than the ones I was asking about citing that I wouldn't know the difference with the WorkSharp system I bought. That speaks volumes.
