I see that the Rikon Mini Lathe is on sale now through October at Woodcraft for $199. Their website claims free shipping through tomorrow and there is no tax when ordering online as well. I'm not really in the market for a lathe yet but this seems like a great deal. Anyone know how often this comes around or do I need to act now?

I'd say that it is best to act now! but, WC does have a brick and mortar presence in NC, so you may have to pay tax on it

Actually you don't. The stores are franchises, so WC corporate does not have a presence here.

It is a good deal, but the price is around about every 6 months, not sure how often the free shipping thing comes around though.

Re: Rikon Mini Lathe

shhhhh! I used to work for one of those outfits...... don't know when someone might be listening. Heck, with all the 'domestic surveillance' going on, they could be watching us!

Like Tom said about once every six months. I got mine from WC back in April for $199 and I love it!
