Jet mini lathe non vs

[jack barnes]

I'm thinking of selling most of my tools and trying to figure out a reasonable price for a
Jet non VS mini lathe in good shape. I have a good idea about my table and radail arm saws,
planner, jointer, sanders, but the lathe i don't know. what would you ask?

It really depends on the age/condition. Mine looks like I drug it behind my truck for a week so I probably couldn't get $100 of it. It runs great and has always been good just looks like heck. If in relatively good condition the rule I was given is 60% of new at best. Someone else will be more help I'm sure.

I picked up a Jet 1014i in Carlisle MA off Craigslist 2 months ago with 3 Robert Sorby chisels and a Supernova 2 chuck for the $200 and it was pretty much an unused lathe. You should be able to do better though.

I paid 200 for mine in decent condition.

It looks like a used 1014 sold for $280 recently
on Ebay (+shipping). They are selling new 1014i
on Amazon right now for $440, includes free shipping.

The non variable speeds lathe are going way to cheap, simply because too many people are too lazy to change the belt. I see them selling for around $200 to $240.

I looked at the ebay ad a little more, looks like the
$280 price included a lot of extras. There were some
nice turning tools, chucks, pen press, mandrel, etc.

If it is in good condition and has some "extra" goodies going with it offer it at about 3/4 new price and negotiate. If it isn't in top notch shape ask yourself what you'd be willing to pay for it and offer it for a little more than that and negotiate.

Jack,

There is a guy here on the site looking for a lathe and he's not that far a ride from you (PA). Maybe you can work out some type of arrangement.
