Hello all -
I have always found good advice about buying tools from this group in
the past.
I'm looking at the Jet JML-1014 midi lathe. It recieved an "{Editor's
Choice" in the December 2005 Workbench magazine.
It seems this model has been around for some time.
This is my first lathe and before commiting to a full-size one, want to
spend some time doing smaller projects.
Does anyone have an opinion about this. ;-)
Thanks
Michael Shapiro

It's a MINI... Delta makes the MIDI and the 2 lathes are the same size... weird,
huh??
I have one and love it.. upgraded to a Jet 1442 and still love the mini...

If you need any additional information on any of the models, please
let me know.
We also carry the Mini Lathe VS Retro Kit (conversion from 1014 to
1014VS) if anyone is looking for that. We have seen some postings
where others have been looking for this kit but were unable to find
it.
We have had only great feedback from customers who have bought the
mini lathe. Jet's mini lathe has been a very good product for us has
a good reputation.

The Jet Mini is one of the most highly respected lathes in this size.
You won't go wrong with getting one of these. (Disclaimer, I have the
Delta Midi, which is almost identical to the Jet Mini.)
Do a google search of the rec.crafts.woodturning newsgroup and you'll
find high praises for this Jet lathe. Also, come hang out over there to
"meet" a bunch of friendly and always helpful turners.
