Product Description

A turn-key treadle operated pole lathe. Excludes pole / shock cord supports / natural fork treadle if you want it delivered by carrier.

Additional notes

This is pole lathe kit made-up for you, not DIY but GSDIFY (Get Someone Else to Do It For You). These are completely made up, but we have to unbolt the legs to compress it down for the carrier
