New lathe..

[Ligget]

I have just taken delivery of my new lathe, my old one broke again!
I have just set it up and it is amazing, compared to my old 1/3hp very cheap lathe, I wish I had bought this at the start.

Was going to get the variable speed Jet, but the salesman from Poolewood Machinery in England told me they can`t get any due to constant breakdowns.

I think that was what was wrong with my cheap variable speed lathe too.

Congratulations, Mark !!! I am very happy with my Jet Mini. It will be a world of difference in your turning.

Thanks guys, this will start getting me out of bed and into the garage!
I did not hear of problems either, unless he meant a newer model of the VS.
