Thank you much! I will check this out. Your comments RE: off-shoring do make sense.A search found there are some companies selling them. Check to see if they have what you want in stock.
I can't say for sure but I doubt LV will move the production off-shore. Their Veritas products are all Canadian made. It's possible they might bring it to Canada to keep it under one roof. It makes the most sense to keep the production where it is with the same staff, perhaps dropping products that don't sell. Time will tell.

It's unfortunate that since the purchase of Beall Tools by Lee Valley tools they can't seem to find a way to start production on the Pen Wizard once again. One cannot even find a used one anymore and there is a lot of interest and demand for these machines. Lee Valley could produce these in smaller batches and I'm positive they would sell out. I realize they were very expensive and only catered to a specific market such as us Pen Turners.
Bob you keep mentioning Penn State buying Beall. They did not. Lee Valley in Canada bought the company and is producing and selling most all of the Beall tools with the exception of the Pen Wizard. At some point they may reintroduce it again or they may not. Best to ask them. Bringing up Penn State just adds confusion about the tool.
Yes, my mistake......Not sure why I had Penn State in my head
Lee Valley bought out Jerry Beall's business. Sure wish they would reconsider reinstating the Pen Wizard. As one can see just by the IPA site, there's a demand out there. Not huge, but people are interested. Just the other week on Ebay a used unit sold for $600....this tells me something. Fingers crossed and thanks for catching my mistake.
I had one in my hands briefly and I sat on it a for a while but never used it. I ultimately sold it on along with the thought that when the day comes I'd get more utility out of a CNC with a rotary axis then I would get out one of these.
