Jet 1014I Lathe as nice as advertised June 10, 2008
R. Grijalva (Ann Arbor, MI)
I did a fair amount of online research before purchasing this lathe. It seems that most opinions were pointing to the Jet mini lathe over other makes by the usual well-known names. Most of my home woodworking tools are Delta, but I skipped the Delta lathe and purchased this Jet instead. The Jet seems to be a cut above most other Chinese-manufactured power tools I've seen recently. The major components (base, head stock and tail stock) are cleanly cast iron, well-finished, with excellent alignment. The tool rest moves smoothly and locks positively. In fact, all the tool hand locks work well. The only item I'd like to see improved a little is the friction lever that locks the motor in place. It's a little hard on the fingers, and the rubber handle cover doesn't stay put.
The operation is very quiet (you can speak to someone while the motor is running without yelling), and as many others have noted in other reviews, it is very solid on the bench, with no vibration. I use it on my workbench, but I intend sometime in the near future to purchase the Jet stand. At 72 pounds, it's quite a load to have to move around the shop from shelf to bench and back. I think the stand will help alot, so my recommendation to anyone contemplating its purchase would be to seriously consider buying the stand as well.

I bought this lathe as a "2nd" lathe, primarily to support the turning of lace bobbins and pens.
It is solid lathe, well usable within it's limits. Don't expect to turn 8 inch (dia) 10 inch long, rough cut, hollow-forms. It's ain't designed for that.
The only down-side, is changing speeds. But then I leave the lathe at high-speed, as all I turn with it are small spindles.
Excellent machine May 14, 2008

I am new to wood turning, but I am really happy that I chose this machine to start on. It is HEAVY (which is good) and easy to use. To do what I wanted to do I have had to buy some accessories, but that is normal for a new hobby. As long as you are doing small work like pen turning, or cork rod grips and reel inserts it is the perfect size and easy to place in the shop. And, of course, the free shipping is a MAJOR bonus with such a heavy item. Highly recommended.

I have used this lathe and know it to be a good one. The new index head makes it much better.

Exceptional lathe for the price. Turns exotic wood with ease. Easy to adjust the speeds with the belt (and I'm new at turning). Solid as a rock and smooth running with virtually no vibration, and I have it sitting on a table-top.
