a little tool gloat...

[The Penguin]

I've been looking for a deal on a midi-sized lathe for a few months, and today I finally scored!

I got a Jet 1014, and it came with:

bed extension that looks like it never left the box
Nova midi-chuck
dust collection hood
set of 8 cheap tools (I can give these to my son for his use/abuse & learning to sharpen)
a few used Henry Taylor small bowl gouges and mini-turning tools
brand new spindlemaster gouge

he also threw in the Craftsman "router-crafter"

all for $250...I think I done good.

And since the rule around here is "without pics it didn't happen" ...here's the pic

I'd say that's a great deal for $250.00. Way to go.

NICE!!!! You'll love the Jet mini! Have fun turning!!

 

[thewishman]

Nice buy.

For 250 you should feel guilty...but not for long cuz you got stuff to make with your cool new toys!!! NICE find. I love when things like that come along and you dont get the ol, "sorry, i just sold it" line.
