General International 25-300M1 14-Inch by 30-Inch Wood Lathe Review

I bought this lathe three months after General-International quietly closed their office in Montreal. G-I has a U.S. Affiliate in Murfreesboro, TN. The 438 pound lathe is manufactured in Taiwan to extremely high standards. It ships in two containers; the stand in one carton and lathe boxed and palletized for the second. The task to unpackage and transfer the lathe onto the stand in the shop required a motorcycle lift and large wood blocks to get it high enough; thankfully I have one. This machine is my fifth wood lathe to work with since 2001. The instruction manual is fairly well written making installation quick and easy. I have written Amazon large items team about the inferior packaging and I intend to write G-I and send photos of how it looked on arrival. On arrival by truck line it looked damaged and had busted the pallet. Fortunately the only damage was a squished lampshade that I was able to bend back to round shape with ease. A stronger thicker pallet is needed. If I had it to do over again, I'd buy it. It is now July 2013 and I am truly glad I bought this. I wish I could move it to my indoor craft shop at the Ozark Folk Center but I think that is a pipe dream.
