  • (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 our preferred Shop Fox Lathes. That being said, there are a number of other really great options when it comes down to Shop Fox Lathes. We have them for you here.

Next up is built by Shop Fox which is a very respectable tool supplier. Shop Fox's Wood Lathes are also top quality. It was fantastic to test the W1758. I was very satisfied with this tool!

This Wood Lathe is just $832.49. That is a terrific deal for a premium Lathe like the W1758 by Shop Fox. If you not sure about our number one choice, I'd look into the Shop Fox W1758 next. It's a first class tool at a terrific price.

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.
