Anybody have this lathe? JET 708360 JWL-1642 16"x 42" EVS PRO 2HP Wood Lathe I was surfing Ebay and came across this. Seems like it has many of the features of the 3520B for a lot less money. Gonna have to go find a review on it.

The 1642 (aka "Mayo Light") is one of the best lathes made in that price range. You'll have to look pretty hard to find a bad review.

EDIT: Their BIN price of $2289 isn't necessarily great. You can do better. Also note that there's a 1.5 HP version that runs around $1850.

Guess I havn't been that observant. Appears to be quite a few of those lathes around here
