"The 1624-44 is an excellent basic lathe and the author’s choice for best value."

Fine Woodworking, Apr 2007, USA

 

"I recently purchased your 1624-44 lathe and I am very pleased with the price and quality of the tool. I make bagpipes and needed more accuracy and torque for boring deep holes. The new lathe gave me this and more. Thank you for a great product!"
