I managed a great buy at the Atlanta WW show today. As discussed in an earlier thread, I was looking for a mini lathe. I saw the Jet for about $200, the Fisch for $220 (I think), and the Delta for $265. While wandering around through the booths, I saw a Delta Midi Lathe on the floor with a much lower price. I asked about it, to see if
they had all the paperwork, and was told that they had more, brand new and in the box, out in the truck.
The price?
$159.00, including tax! But wait...there's more!
It came with a $50 mail-in rebate! So, my net cost is $109!
The bad thing about this whole deal is that, although my recovery from back surgery is going very well, I can't get back into the shop for several months. But at least I can go visit my new toy!
Oh yeah...The vendor was Stone Mountain Power Tools.
