I did see that. The RIKON 70-050VS 12-Inch by 16-Inch is on sale as well for $333. that is what I am planning on ordering.

Yep, had to jump in on that one...decided not to ponder this time. Lost great sale price a few years ago when the Jet mini-VSI was around $350. Will be fine for pens etc. and sufficiently light that I can take along in RV and work in the campsite when it's raining or when the fish have lockjaw.

Wow, if thats a good price, then Amazon gave me a STEAL! Last year, two weeks before Christmas, Amazon sent me an email for the Jet 1220VS for $513 + 4.99 shipping(which was the 2-3 day that i paid extra for.) Now that really makes feel like I got a bargain. Especially since i Mutilate so many coins!!!

That Amazon price is good but I did buy the same lathe locally for $465. I like to keep my money local if I can and it isn't a whole lot more. I do get good service and assistance when I need it from these guys as well.
