I have the Homier lathe and when it arrived it had some damage from
shipping.There was no outward signs of damage to the crate and when I
called Homier they sent replacement parts with no questions asked.Parts
arrived in less than a week at no charge.I have purchased many items
from them with no problems.Your best bet is to buy at their traveling
tool sales done across the US.Get on their email list of sales in your
area.
