3. Products and Pricing
3.1 Product Information
We make every effort to display our products accurately, including
specifications, dimensions, compatibility information, and images.
However:
- Colors may appear slightly different on your screen due to monitor
settings.
- Technical specifications are based on manufacturer data and are
believed to be accurate but are not guaranteed to be error-free.
- Compatibility statements (e.g., "fits Sieg C2 mini lathe") are
guidance based on standard machine configurations. Some machines
have been modified or vary across production years. **If compatibility
is critical, we strongly encourage you to email us with your machine
model before ordering.**
3.2 Pricing
All prices are listed in **US Dollars (USD)** and exclude shipping,
sales tax, and any applicable duties unless otherwise stated.
We reserve the right to change prices at any time without notice. The
price applicable to your order is the price displayed at the time you
complete checkout.

In the rare event of a pricing error (e.g., a product listed for $1

issue a full refund, even after the order has been confirmed. We will
notify you by email if this happens.
