    New Lathe... Like I really needed another.. LOL

    Just made a deal on Amazon... JET Mini Lathe for $174.99 including shipping... they are running a one day sale on the lathe that includes Free shipping and an additional $25 off any Jet tool over $199... plus there is an additional Jet rebate toward any other tool or accessory...
    DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THE VORTEX I GO... LOL

    Tom,

    God help me, but I just ordered one too. That price is just too good to ignore, even though I would've rather had the VS model.

    I just hope that my wife doesn't find out....

    Jack

    I've love to jump on that one so I'd have a second machine for detail work or occasional teaching/travel, but I have some other things I need a little "more" right now. Fortunately, deals come around every once in awhile...

    Nice score!

    As usual....a day late and a dollar short! I have been wanting a mini to compliment my Jet 1442....I know my husband would understand since he's always bugging me for new toys....and recently got a new 8" jointer! I love my 1442, but sometimes you need a little variety in your life

    I am holding out for the VS model---just spoiled I guess. Just glad I ain't holding my breath.
