OK, as my lathe gets closer to being here, and as I've been reading up on things, I've been looking around the web, here in Japan for some turning stuff.....
As I said in my post about the LARGE jointer, I'm kind of on a bit of a belt tightening routine right now, but I thought I'd just "Look" well, I've got STICKER shock.........

Oneway Chuck 42,500 yen, that is $386 (110 yen to the US$) What does it go for in the US, $180..?
Gee, when I do buy this stuff, you can bet I'll be paying for shipping from the US to Japan....
MAN that is WAY out of line for prices.....No?
