I emailed HF, and they said 20% off coupons apply to lathes. Exceptions are welders, jacks, compressors, and tool cabinets.

mini-lathe

I see a 8x12 but not 8x14 (does it measure to be 14 and list as 12?)? And
what codes are working online currently? Just curious for a friend not me. I
already bought a Grizzly 7x12 (like not having to pay tax, that helped). The
8x12 has its drawbacks but some prefer the belt drive over variable, it is
surely a heavier duty machine being 250 pounds ship weight (of course more
weight in packaging Vs a 7x12 too) vs the 90 pound 7x12 ship
weight.
Not being a patient person I dont like the "Item made to order.
Average time to ship is 4 weeks with a maximum of 16 weeks. Customer will be
contacted regarding delivery."
Big question though, does anyone know if
the bed in the 8x12 is ground and hardened? Dont like the HF only having 90
day warranty though. Seen a reviewer on HF say they paid $499 with free
shipping back earlier this year! Never seen the 8x HF lathe that
cheap.

on sale for 699. With 20% coupon that reduces to 560. The 8x14 is much more
machine than the 7x.
