Want opinions/reviews on mini lathes

[Thom Sturgill]

Thanks all for your input. I just ordered the Jet 1220 from Osolnik. He had the VS for $100 more, but the shipping was an additional 75$ more (the VS is 25lbs heavier ).

Now to start accumulating accessories...

I am also a Rikon midi user. It changes belts quickly and efficiently, I think...I do have a VS Delta 14-40...Its super. I think you have to consider for yourself the 100$ for VS or buy 100$ worth of tools or chucks. I personally found the Rikon to change fast enough so I could waste the rest of the money somewhere else.

thats my 2 pennies
