If I was a purchasing or finance officer with a finance delegation, in the Australian Education sector,, there is no way I'd buy equipment from toolsforshcools.com.au .. ever.
It seems the google search web scraper has revealed a $2000 mark up for a lathe compared to if Joe public buys the exact same item from it's importer here in Australia retail.
I'd almost bet the one being sold to education does not have all the bells and whistles either (accessories, DRO, etc..)
If you're a #Teacher, suggest you pass this on to your Manual Arts colleagues, I'd rather my Tax dollars did not go to a supplier like this . .
These same clowns were peddling Raspberry Pi's, 4b boards, for $100 more than standard retail (and that was before the pi shortage..)
