Is the Rockler mini lathe for 99 bucks an OK deal or is the jet mini lathe a better machine with more accessories? Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!:)

Shannon, you'll get a lot more answers if you ask a mod to move this to the Turning forum.

The Jet is a better mini lathe and worth the extra cost. I don't know much about the wilton, but the Jet has been at or near the top of the heap of mini lathes for quite awhile. A number of folks on the turning forum have them.
