 Small, solid performer ... July 23, 2008

The Jet is my second lathe, and although smaller, it's the one I'll keep and take with me into the retirement home. With a 10" swing x 14" (expandable) bed length, it's big enough for 99+% of all projects. It's well-designed, manufactured to close tolerances, heavy, solid, and stout, especially for its size, runs true, operates smoothly, and performs well over the full (and adequate) speed range. It's very capable of handling eccentric blanks or out-of-balance logs provided that it's securely anchored to something massive.
Has been perfect in all respects, no hint of a design or manufacturing issue. About the only downside compared to more expensive, albeit larger, lathes is the lack of electronic speed control, but the belt system is easier to use than I had expected and can be changed with one hand. Highly recommended!

I recently receive my order only to find it arrived damaged. The damage was due to the poor handling by UPS. The metal base was broken into to halves due to careless handling. Customer service tried their best to satisfy me but too little too late the experience was bad. Questionable if I'll utilize this service again. Unable to rate the product due to the extended damage. SO I will give it the lowest score.

THE BEST MINI LATHE ON THE MARKET. DOES EVERYTHING IT PROMISES. NO COMPLAINTS. I LOVE THE VARIABLE SPEED. DON'T BUY ONE WITHOUT IT. EASY TO CHANGE BELTS FROM ONE SPEED TO ANOTHER.

Fantastic piece of machinery. Other than a slight chip in the paint on the backside it was perfect out of the box.
Jet Variable Speed Mini Lathe Review - Matt S. Flower Mound, TX February 16, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This was my first lathe purchase, but not my first purchase of Jet product. After receiving and opening the box, it was clear the box had been dropped sometime during shipping. The live center tip was bent and the on/off switch was damaged. I went ahead and assembled the lathe to verify if anything else was damaged and fortunately it was in good shape - this lathe in heavy for its size.
The Jet service center I called sent me replacement parts via 2 day mail, free of charge. I would have balked if I had received any less service, so I'm glad they did this without me having to ask for it.
I finished assembling the lathe and started turning. I'm still learning about the things to do with the lathe, but so far things are going better than expected. I was not sure what the indexing feature was, but figured it out quickly and realized the additional value. I purchased a one-way scroll chuck at Woodcraft which was a very nice addition to this mini lathe. My favorite feature on the lathe is the variable speed. I'm not one to tolerate taking time to shift pulley belts around, so being able to adjust the speed with a dial has already made working with this power tool a pleasure. I give it 5 of 5.
