Hey guys, my boys and I are wanting to start making predator calls and need a bench top lathe. Anyone have one to sell or, some advice on makes/models. Have heard good things about Shop Fox and Jet. Would really like to find a nice older lathe. Have been checking Craigslist but, nothing interesting close by. Thanks! Also posted on Saubier.

The Jet & Delta mini lathes are purdy much the workhorses of the call making world. The Rikon has gotten very good reviews as well.
I would like to show you a website & invite you to sign up & get in on some of the threads the new call makers have started in the General Call Making Discussions Forum. I think you will find every answer that you do or will have a question for. You can read there without being a member but what fun is that??

WARNING!! These are some of the absolute best call makers out there. You will learn from their experiences both good & bad!!

I have a old metal lathe that is ran by a seperate electric motor by way of a belt drive. It could be used on wood as well. I have it at my other home & will need to get it out of storage there. I would be willing to sell it if you don't find anything. My e-mail address is [
