Anyone know anything about the Central Machinery 5 speed, 1/2 HP Bench Top Wood Lathe #65345.
Habror Frieght has it on sale @ $199.

It is essentially a Jet clone. It is more than adequate for turning plugs. Good luck with your choice.

Thank you has good reviews. Called today not in stock, they gave me a rain check and order it from the warehouse.

i just got this lathe a few weeks ago. I feel that it is a great lathe for someone like me who is just getting started out in plug making....
