Wish Quebec was closer!

Right, too rich for my blood lol

What he is omitting in the KBC 14x40 comparison is that $14,500 gets you a lathe that weighs 3400Lbs vs this one at 1650Lbs

This is what I found at KBC for 14x40 using almost the same part number from King Canada which has the taper attachment and also weighs 1375 lbs

LOL, This is worth maybe half+ of what he is asking. We had lathes 14x40 that are Modern Tool sell for under 5000 in Calgary recently.

8500 is price of a new lathe of this type - i.e. I can get a new lathe for 9500 after 30second search

The 3400 lbs comes from heavy duty lathe mentioned in the ad. The Craftex and King are light duty lathes. King lowest price after 2min search is 8300 CAD brand new.

The 3400lb has me wondering....the gear selector knobs are all in the same place as the Craftex. The shape is identical to the Craftex....where are they sticking the extra weight?

I have a very strong feeling based on some detective work that the Grip 14x40 is not actually 3400 lbs but 1400lbs. i.e. a typo.

Also grizzly sells a better lathe 8500 CAD in their 14x40 lineup.

They all come from the same base source.
