Mini Gloat

[OKLAHOMAN]

Jet mini lathe that is. Recived today my second Jet mini, this ones the VSI that Amazon had on sale 2 weeks ago with free shipping. I've been useing my non VS jet for the last year and half and needed (wanted) a second mini . Will use the non VS as a buffing station and back-up.

Congratulations. Looks like a nice overall setup.

Congrats.

Hope you can give us a good comparison review between the VS and non-VS when you used it long enough.

There's nothing like a 2 mini home.... except maybe a 2 PM4224 home, but that would just be wrong[}][][][]

Lovely gloat, the Jet mini VS is not sold in the UK only the manual.[V][]

Where's the sawdust? It's not a workshop without sawdust.[]

Steve how dare you show a woodturner a metal turning lathe, I feel dirty now![)][]

Great link, my DVR is variable speed anyhow.

I once owned a little £90 variable speed lathe that lasted a few months the started speeding up and slowing down all by itself, it became a major pain in the backside so it went to the tip.

I have been looking at metal turning lathes on Axminsters website, will I or won`t I, may not use it much though![]

Roy~ I will definitely be interested in a side-by-side comparison of these two, as I am still undecided about whether the VS is worth it.

I'd buy that for a dollar! Maybe even more.
