  • (41 Points)
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 Shop Fox W1704 Wood Lathe B001R23SWW was really our preferred Shop Fox Lathes. However, there were several other really high quality Shop Fox Lathes we wanted to showcase here that just barely fell short.

Next on our list is made by Shop Fox which is a very respectable tool manufacturer. Shop Fox's Wood Lathes are one of their premier offerings. I was ready to have a go at the model W1758 and I was not let down!

This Wood Lathe is just $832.49. That is an exceptional deal for a superior Lathe like the W1758 by Shop Fox. The Shop Fox W1758 is really a sound option. Of you are uncertain about our top choice, I'd advise to pick this Lathe.

Aside from the tools we covered already, I would take a look at the M1015 by Shop Fox and the Shop Fox M1049. Both Shop Fox and Shop Fox are thought to be a couple of the top manufacturers of premium Lathes. Each of these two options earned terrific customer reviews as well. The M1015 boasts a rating of 3.1/5 when contrasted against the 4.1/5 star rating given to the Shop Fox M1049.

The M1015 by Shop Fox gives a few very choice features like 4 hex wrenches, 100-2000 RPM spindle speed:. The M1049 by Shop Fox by comparison, is very competitive with Six-speed lathe for a wide range of projects and even Speeds from 130-2,000 RPM.

I can easily endorse either of these Shop Fox Lathes
