quality components - easy to build - solid as a rock - great deal through amazon.
NEED TO PUT A SAND BAG OVER THE MIDDLE BAR IF YOU TURN LARGER OR UNBALANCED STUFF IT WORKS AS PROMISED. COULD BE HEAVIER.
I look foward to purchasing the extension lathe bed and extended support bar. solid and easy to assemble. Jet products are one of the best out there.Pat PichicheroSouth Carolina The metal stand purchased at the time I selected the Jet mini lathe is absolutley one of the best stands on the market. Strong.
Good addition to the shop. The welds and finish are superior and there were no missing parts or hardware. Ps: I griped about the cost of the extension bar to accomodate the lathe extension I also bought, but it was also well made and allows me to turn much longer pieces. This unit is more than strong enough to hold the lathe steady. It is well made of box beams and channel iron.
But its not difficult at all.finish is good.Lathe attaches well and produces a solid vibration free working space.overall a 5* in my mind. The assembly instructions could have been better(the only negative I have here). One page pic of stand on one side,exploded schematic on the other. I have always been a fan with Jet products, so the decision to downsize my work area due to space constrictions. with the jet lathe.PS Jet, you should make lockable casters in the future.Jet 708354 JML-S Adjustable Mini Lathe Stand Dont let the price scare you off on this. The Jet was my first and only choice.The mini stand is a sold well built item. Actually they offer this item on sale for $107 every so oftenwith free super saving shipping, which I was lucky to get.Assembly time under an hour.
