Jet 1/2 hp 10"x 14" Variable Speed Indexing Mini Lathe (JML-1014VSI) —
I bought this little lathe in Feb 2008 with my stimulus check. I got into turning pens from exotic woods by accident and now my hobby to kill time has turned into a nice little business. This is one sweet little lathe. I love the variable speed. The 3 different pulleys that you have to change the belt on to change its speed range is a pain in the *** but its better than having to move the belt every time you want to change speed. The one real complaint I have about mine is the tail stock is about an 1/8 of an inch off center line. Its off center just enough that I cant use it to drill a hole with and expect it to be on center. Other than that its been a sweet little machine. In the last year and a half I've used it enough that I've worn out the bearing in one live center, and worn out one on/off toggle switch turning it on and off.
