Well i have been attacked by the turning Virus and as i was telling a friend of here at SMC that my wife said that i should get the larger lathe as it would be a waste of money if i was to get the mini and later after getting into this, say that i should have gotten the bigger lathe.
I just wanted to start cheap but she is right. So she said MAKE room so back i went and as i had toll my friend here i had 2 places that it might fit, well one was out but the last place with her suggestion moving a few things will make it work.
Now for your help please.
The JET JWL-1236 lathe will fit my needs and will fit in the shop afer a little moving.
What is everyones PROS and CONS on this lathe. I dont have any turning experience except High school shop so is this a good machine. Are there any falts or weakness.
Also Jet want $225.00 for there chuck and Grizzly has a 4 jaw self centering chuck- 1"*8 tpi for $ 89.95 is the grizzly any good and will it work properly on the JET JWL-1236.
