I have a Shop Fox W1704 wood lathe. recently the motor has developed issues. In looking for replacement parts, I found several Shop Fox customers who were happy with the product, but were having difficulty getting parts.
With a bit of poking around on the net, I found that 'Woodstock International' is the company that makes Shop Fox products. On Wodstock International's web site, you can use your zip code to find an authorized dealer in your area.
It turns out that there are 2 authorized dealers within 7 miles of my house. Getting the part I need turned out to be as simple as calling the dealer. I called Woodstock International before hand, and they gave me the part #, all I had to do was give that part # to the dealer.
