Well the reality of the available room in my shop has left me with one choice for the lathe, looks like a mini lathe.
i cant sacrifice anymore floor space for a larger lathe so if i want a lathe at all looks like the Jet Mini JML-1014.
Just got back from getting a price for 12"*36" jet jwL-1236 for $499.00 less the chuck and is only 5 feet long and i went into the shop and there was no way i could fit this in there and still do any projects, ohwell"
So i have resiged myself to the fact that if i do want to do any lathe work at all its a mini lathe which brings me to question.
The mini lathe that like is the JET MINI JML-1014 andwhat i was wondering just what can be turned on this lathe besides pens not that there is anything wrong with that i want to be able to do a bit more than that.
Those who have this lathe could you please give me your pros and cons and what you have found as the limitations of this lathe.
