Hi, I was browsing at the Lowes near my home here on Long Island. When I saw that the delta Midi was on sale for $ 169.00. Seemed too good to be true so I asked the clerk what was wrong with it he told me that it was missing the live center and the wrenches were missing. I asked if that was the best he could do with all that missing so he marked it down to $
95.00. Went in for bulbs and left with a lathe it runs great and a great buy.
Yep. But he should have had one in a sealed box for 169.
Waiting for you to ask if I wanted to buy a bridge.

Not sure to whom you addressed this. Lowes is discontinuing Delta products and has very good prices on the whole line. The going price for a Delta Midi in sealed box is $169. I don't find it at all unreasonable that they would sell their floor model with accessories missing for 95.

Don't let the party-poopers get you down. The "regular" price for your lathe is near or above $300. I've turned on one a number of times, and they're a very good choice for a lot of things. You walked out needing a live center and a wrench or two, but Delta uses standard size parts, so you probably already have the wrenches, and you can get a better live center than what comes standard.

Where can I find one. I checked Lowes online and the price is over $300. My local Lowe's does not have one on display. If they are getting out of the Delta business they aren't promoting it.
