I just picked up one just like it except it is the white one. Very quiet and solid. It only made 5 pens and sat for 3 yrs. He was alergic to the woods we use. You will really like it. I already do.
Looks like a great score. I think in power tools older means better, or at least that has been my experience. Will your drives and centers from your old lathe fit this one?
i think so. i have both a 1 and a 2. so i should be fine. and i worked alot with jet mini lathes there great. and yes i agree in tools older is better.
