    My husband needed a part for his lathe so he could use it again for his new project. I received a message that it had arrived and I was surprised. I asked my husband and sure enough, he grabbed it right out of the mailbox and started using it. It is the perfect part for his lathe, the price was excellent and it was in stock. We are happy.

    Good price on lathe knives, look like really good quality but haven’t used them yet. I contacted customer service to see if I could apply my 15% discount for first time customer as I accidentally placed order w/o it (I must have missed it in the ordering process). I never heard back.
