Robust lathes, made in Wisconsin, are machines with strength and quality that are turning heads everywhere.   WITH A SEVEN YEAR WARRANTY BUMPER TO BUMPER  (HEADSTOCK TO TAILSTOCK) FOR EVERYTHING, EVEN THE ELECTONICS! You will probably not find this on any other lathe made in the world.   The image shown is of the American Beauty with a 25" capacity over the bed, and 28" between centers  for $8995 (a long bed option will handle 52" between centers @ $9595).   Options include an outboard capacity that will allow turning up to 60" diameters, and a bed extension that allows 52" between centers.  
Robust is now making a line of three different machines:   American Beauty, the new Scouts and the Sweet 16.   A variety of options are available for each machine. 

Contact Alan for specific information and pricing for any of the models.   Freight on lathes and accessories is added to the the cost of the lathe.  Sales tax is added for Wisconsin shipping addresses or where states other than WI require the submission of sales tax by Robust.  Price for the American Beauty standard bed length machine in 2 hp is $9395 or $9995 in long bed 2 hp version (price may change from stated here--contact Alan for latest pricing and a lot more info.    If you buy a Robust lathe through Alan, he becomes your woodturning coach for as long as you own the the lathe.     Call 651 307 9059 or email Alan  alan@alanlacer.com  for more details, more specs, shipping cost estimate, time frame to build  (yes, build, as these are custom made lathes), all the options, to request a full Robust catalouge or any of the Robust accessories   (tool rests, live center, ring drive, interchangable tool holder, etc.).   These lathes are custom built to your specification choices, so allow 8-10 weeks in most cases.
