Nice craigslist find today
Posted: Sun May 17, 2015 7:28 pm
I was fortunate to get in quick enough on this deal on Craigslist and added this nice machine to my shop today. It's a jet 1014 variable speed with extension to make it 36" between centers.
I already have the same lathe sans extension but hopefully this will help me increase production since much of the work I do is on the lathe. Plus all of my accessories fit it as well. I didn't absolutely need the lathe but couldn't pass it up for $350 including the stand and custom storage drawers and a few basic accessories. It will be used for many other turnings and items besides pipes but now I won't be locked up if I've got a glue-up on one lathe. Ok, gloat over.
