From the first time I saw Robust lathes I was instantly impressed with the research and development Robust put into the design and manufacturing of his lathes. To me the quality, ergonomics and functionality are spot on. And they are American made. Being able to turn on my American Beauty everyday is a dream come true, and it always the lathe of choice with students in my studio.

because I make anything different on it than I would on any of the other lathes, but because of how
enjoyable it is to use. I am proud to be a Robust distributor because I really believe in the product.

Alan Lacer: Robust lathes are rugged and solid machines. The sliding headstock on the American Beauty
places these lathes at the front of the pack. The standard stainless-steel ways on all models leads to an
effortless glide of the banjo and tailstock. The Tilt Away feature is a real innovation.

John and I imported a lathe from Australia for years, but they eventually became hard to get. Then John became quite impressed with ROBUST lathes and started advising people who called to buy a Robust! We received a commission check in the mail with a note saying: You are already selling our lathes, you might as well become a ROBUST dealer! An American made lathe by nice folks and John said his American Beauty was the best lathe he ever turned on! What more could you want? - Vicki Jordan
