You'll love it. I had turned on them for years doing demo's and workshops. Now that I own one I like it even more.

Love mine

>Hi Chuck

The lathe will bring you nothing but disappointment and misery. This is the worst thing you could have done.

What will you be able to blame now that you can't blame the lathe?

Congratulations you will move to another level in your turning skills. You will become more chalenged by your imagination than your ablity to turn.

>I have #0003, the first went to Rude, the second to Willard, and I have the third. I bought it used but I think the versatility will serve you well. i also think it is the BEST value on the market today. A bunch of folks are waiting to get in line to get one so consider yourself lucky!

Have fun, and if you have questions, use this group. There are a bunch of PM folks who can help.

>I recently bought one and am very satisified. Can't imagine anything else. BTW, don't be like me and try to remove its new faceplate without loosing the set screws. Yes the faceplate has small set screws in case you want to reverse turn.

>Richard, that is an remarkably true statement. I spend way more time figuring out what to make than wondering if I can swing it.

Suggestion to the proud papa, add a few hundred pounds of weight to it. It made an already wonderful lathe absolutely superb. Honestly, it really put the finishing touches on it.

>Thanks everybody! My Jet 1236 has been moaning while making bowls. One thing brought up I hadn't thought of....

I won't be able to blame the lathe now. Must find someone or something to blame. I'm an American! Nothing is my fault. It's a result of some long forgotten childhood trama....

Seriously, I've been lurking trying to soak up what I can. Lots of helpfull people here.
