Price Available

Larger clearance than most comparable models. This is my first Wood Lathe. I'm glad I looked a bit more before purchasing another model. Perfect for what I wanted it and needed it for. Arrived with all accessories as advertised.

The truth is that the Shop Fox W1704 Wood Lathe B001R23SWW was the Shop Fox Lathes that we rated at the top. Having said that, there were a handful of other very high quality Shop Fox Lathes we wanted to showcase here that barely missed first place.

Shop Fox is yet another major maker of Lathes. They make the tool next up on our lineup. Shop Fox's Wood Lathes are great as well. I was ready to try out the model W1758 and I was not disappointed!

This Wood Lathe is only $832.49. That is an exceptional deal for a superior Lathe like the W1758 by Shop Fox. If you unsure about our number one choice, I'd check out the Shop Fox W1758 next. It's a premium quality tool at a great price.

In addition to the selections we covered already, I would check out the M1015 by Shop Fox and the Shop Fox M1049. Both tool brands are known for their top quality Lathes. Each of these distinct options earned terrific buyer ratings also. The Shop Fox advertises a rating of 3.1/5 as compared to 4.1/5 star rating received by the M1049 by Shop Fox.

The M1015 by Shop Fox offers a few really premium features including 4 hex wrenches, 100-2000 RPM spindle speed:. The M1049 by Shop Fox however, is very competitive offering Six-speed lathe for a wide range of projects plus Speeds from 130-2,000 RPM.

I can easily recommend both of these Shop Fox Lathes

This Metal Lath made turning easy and simple. Highly recommend the Metal Lath and a few additions. The Metal Lath arrived fine and works well. I simply plugged it, and it's ready to go. It is very well balanced with no vibration.
