As many of you have read I was looking for a new bigger lathe. So following MANY recommendations on here I called toolnut inquiring about lathes talked to Doug for about 30 min about 1642, and the PM 3520b. 220v vs 120 HP jet vs PM all of it. Got into prices and he made me order the Jet 1642 2HP 220v by making it less than 90% of the other places have the 1 1/2 HP 115v and being one of the best no hassle polite any question answered no BS salesman I have ever dealt with. This time next week I should be gloating about the new toy in the shop.
A+++++ to toolnut.
