I went with the Rikon because of the easy of changing the belt for slow- higher speeds. I have a very large hand. Just to let you people know Rikon is coming out with another mini lathe soon! Can't get much more than that out of them.
... the larger capacity of the Rikon swings my vote.
Go with the larger lathe. I have two Jet lathes (1220 and 1642) and would recommend them to anyone. But if the choice is between the 1014 and the Rikon, the larger capacity of the Rikon swings my vote.
