10 stars out of 5
Rating the America Beauty 10 stars out of 5. I had my American Beauty for a few years now, so I feel comfortable writing an honest review… and yes everything you know or seen on YouTube about the beauty is absolutely true! This is the very best Woodlathe money can buy. Get all the extras you can, everything is top shelf, and if you plan on moving your lathe any point GET THE CASTERS! They are awesome, yeah they aren’t cheap, however if you like me, I have found ways to adopt them to move other shop furniture. The Tilt Away feature for the tailstock is the greatest innovation for moving a large tailstock out of the way, once you go tilt away, you will never go Mustard or Mayo again! One of the coolest features about purchasing the lathe other than is made in the USA! Purchasing the lathe thru Alan Lacer, one of the very best Woodturning Professionals living today, I have the ability to call him and ask woodturning advice, other related shop question, you name it Alan is awesome to deal with.
