good deal? GOT TO SEE!!

[moyehow]

I just bought a JET 16" Wood Lathe Electronic Variable Speed Model JWL-1642EVS, 8 Robert Sorby tools (1/2 and 3/8 bowl gouge, 2 spindle gouges, skew, scraper, parting tool and i can't remember what the other is), Stronghold chuck, Wolverine sharpening system, all that wood, face shield, and dust mask.
I picked it up yesterday from a guy who wanted to learn woodturning. He used it for a couple of hours and it flared up his asthma. Here are a few pics of all I got from him. As you can tell I did a little work today. Look below the pic to see what I payed.






$1300.00 CASH, good deal or what? LET ME KNOW WHAT U THINK?

I think you got a pretty good size gloat there.

 

[moyehow]

The other tool is a 1.25 inch roughing gouge.

You got a great deal! Congrats on getting the whole set-up, and blanks!

 

[Fred]

I'm gonna call the police and report a burglary at that guy's house.

Damn, you have $1300 worth of wood,tools, chuck w/jaws, tool rest, etc. and then you get the lathe for "FREE" at least.

I noticed you did not post your address or anything like that ...

DANG... sound like you got a deal for sure The lathe alone looks around $2000.00 on Amazon. Dunno what model you have, just compared pics

 

[markgum]

WOW. What a deal!!!!! Now show us what you can do with those new toys.

 

[seamus7227]

Wow!! Thats a Steal!!!! Deals dont come around like that too often, good thing you snagged it when you did, or someone else might have been gloating instead of you! You better get to work now, there are no excuses now.

You SUCK!!!! LOL, I have been looking at Craigs list all week on the west coast and there's nothing at all like that out here. Great Deal enjoy it.

 

[DurocShark]

That's a gloatworthy deal! You suck!

 

[Russell Eaton]

That is a rockin deal. I know you will LOVE that lathe. I have the same on with the 2 hp motor. It is sweet. Have fun and get the thing DIRTY.

 

[traderdon55]

I would have jumped on a deal like that and I don't even need it since I prefer the lathe I have to the Jet.

 

[Dalecamino]

Yup, a good deal.

 

[OLDMAN5050]

you robbed him............................

 

[Glenn McCullough]

I have watched and watched and searched....anything this good never comes my way...congrats!

Were you wearing a MASK when you handed over the cash?
Congratulations
I must admit I am jealous!
On one side we can still all turn the same style pens - unless you decide to turn a very long presidential...LOL
I have a Jet 12/20 so I would have to buy the bed ext. to get the same length
Does that model allow you to slide the head stock down for large form turnings?
That's the type that will be my next lathe - in about 20 years, if I can afford it then?
Congratulations
That is an awesome deal!
Are you going to make the guy you bought it from a super sweet pen?

 

[moyehow]

definitely going to send the guy a couple of bowls and pens. I have made 5 bowls, a goblet, and 5 pendants already. Maybe i can get my money back in a few months.
All I can say is thank you God!

 

[Grizzlyss]

What a steal !!

Why can't I ever find a steal, uhhh, I mean deal like that. LOL I would have snapped that up without thinking, and I already have a lathe and tools. Have fun with it.

[Rangertrek]

Yes, a really good deal. That bowl on the lathe looks small, now you can do much bigger work!

 

[bitshird]

That was a great STEAL. Man what a deal. WOW !!!!
