I bought a wood lathe from harbor freight does it have a warranty like the other tools can I bring it back and trade it in for a new one

I think it's only 15 day return policy for electronics as long as You have the receipt. I believe they may charge You a restocking charge too. Otherwise You can send it into the manufacture & they should help with Your warrenty, but I would call them first. If You can't find the phone number, the Peopls at Harbor Freight can look up the number for You.

HFT cashier here. They have 90 days with receipt.

electronics only have a 15 day warranty with receipt

Should have a 30 day warranty
