“Jet mini lathe”

sears-feed Chicago, IL

I purchased this lathe about 7 months ago, it is an excellent lathe, the variable speed is good, plenty of power, have made lots of projects without any problems, only little problem is the indexing spring loaded screw, the spring messed up and I had to take it off, but the lathe still works fine. would recommend it highly
