Hi everyone,

I am relatively new to this particular forum, however I do belong to a couple of other woodturning forums.

Anyhoo, thought this was of particular interest. I just got the new ONEWAY catalog in the mail. I saw the reason why they pulled the prices on their lathes on the Website. It had "please call for prices".

For the 2436, 3hp package, it went from $5017 to $5525!

The prices for their entire line of lathes went up big time.

Interestingly enough, on some accessories, the prices stayed the same. On others, it went up.

I was hoping in the next couple of months to place an order for the 24xx. Now, I am not so sure.

Falling US dollar relative to Cdn dollar problem is the simple answer
although nothing is ever as simple as a single factor.

Dollar plus raise in steel prices. Grizzly warned earlier this year of a
general increase in machinery prices. The Jet 1442 went from $799 to $915 -
same reasons.

All,

I work in the large computer business and the raw steel prices for our
cabinets have gone up 20% to 40% over the last year. China is on a
growth spurt and is buying up steel and scrap steel on the world
market. Consequently, raw material costs are soaring. I suspect
Oneway is passing on this cost.

As our iron mines close for lack of demand. Though the Chinese did order a
few tons of pellets. They must really be desperate if transporting them
that far.

Outsourcing, on a short term basis is the key to maintain the profit margin
and appease the share holders. On long term basis dependency on outsourcing
does not give you control over the evolution of your future. The
configuration of
your future is molded around the countries doing the outsourcing, in this
case China.
Presently China is operating under a quota. As up January they will have an
open door to North America. At this time, the average hourly wages in China
is $0.40 USD.

A local church that is expanding 'suddenly' had to increase the budget by
3.8mUSD because of the increase in prices of both Steel and Fuel.
