Jet JDP-17 MF issues?

[Jay Yoder]

Anyone out there have any experience with these? I have an opportunity to pick one up for $175 that seems in good condition.. Anything in specific to look for? Any inherent issues? This one seems to be from 2001 and has done alot of just sitting around...Thank you for your response.

I've owned one that's about that same vintage since it was new. I haven't encountered any major problems nor do I know of any specific issues with the model. A number of owners, including me, have commented on the vibration level being higher than desirable. I installed link belts on mine and that seemed to take care of it.
