Whether you?re an experienced woodworker or just a beginner the Jet 708351VS/JML-1014VS mini-lathe is the perfect tool for turning small projects such as small bowls, bottle stoppers, ornaments, and other spindle work. Ready to use right out of the box, the 1/2 horsepower motor is powerful enough to remove materials fast and the variable speed control (500 to 3900 rpm) is located up front on the switch where you need it. Weighing in at approximately 69 pounds, the Jet mini-lathe can be easily moved around the shop, home or garage. The mini lathe?s 14-inch sturdy cast iron bed with a 10-inch swing and a "live center" tailstock with a full 2-inch ram capacity is ideal for any serious woodworker or weekend hobbyist. -- C.

Customer Review: Jet's Counter Punch K.O.'s Delta
Summary: 5 Stars
For quite awhile the original Jet mini-lathe has been a rock solid performer. For the money, no one else built a better small lathe. Eventually Delta got in the game and released its "midi"-lathe. For the most part the delta prodcut was every bit as good as the Jet. A few complained that the pulley's were tough to get to on the Jet, and a few complained that machining was hit or miss on the Delta. With both machines so evenly matched, the slightly lower cost of the Delta seemed to give it the edge. That was then...Enter the JML-1014VS, Jet's electronic varible speed version of the its original mini lathe. This is a great machine that takes all the strengths of the original, adds varible speed control, and then lowers the price. This new model is (currently) listed for less than the Delta's pulley speed selected unit. This pretty much negates even the tiny edge the Delta had over the old machine. Jet also lowered the price A BUNCH on its orginal mini lathe to nearly half of the Delta product.
My only complaint about this new lathe centers around Jet's advertising of the varible speed system. From reading the specs, one would assume that to change the speed from 500 rpm to 3900 rpm, all you have to do is turn the knob. This simply isn't true. The new jet still retains 6 pulleys and a belt in the headstock. Depending on what pulley set you choose, you get either 500-1200rpm, 1100-2000, or 1500-3900. This isn't a fatal flaw, as most turners can find a suitable range for their work. What's most frustrating is that Jet seems a little misleading in their advertising.
The really good news is that this machine runs beautifuly! The headstock/tailstock alignment were dead on. It also runs very very smoothly and quitely. If I have anything else in the shop on (even a box fan across the room on the lowest setting) you can't hear it running. Vibration is non-existant until the RPM's are above 3000 or so. Even then, the vibration isn't detrimental to turning, you can just tell that its on when you put your hand on it.
Thank you Jet for putting out a great product and a great price!
