Delta 46-460 or Jet 1220VS. Is it a toss up or does one have the edge over the other? Both about the same price.

I'd choose the Delta. Reverse + 1hp motor (I think) put over the top.

I choose the Delta. You might do a search on this, the topic has come up I think 4 or 5 times and there are some other very very good threads on this same question.

Delta 46-460. Jet 1220 3/4 hp no reverse. Delta 1 hp and reverse.

Delta, have to agree on the search. The Delta lathe has been discussed quite a bit of late. Several Deltas bought in the last two weeks when there was a sale on.

There is no question the Delta wins this war. Until Jet comes out with their latest. It is a seesaw battle with these companies. The Delta is the newest and latest in the line of the midis. If it were around when I bought my 1220 I would have gone with the delta hands down. Go get it and get turning. ;)
