Pulled the trigger this morning...

[Thom Sturgill]

Sean at TN does it again... or the happiness of getting new toys is contagious and spread by just reading about it. :rolleyes: In which case, more of you are at risk!

I just ordered a Jet 1642EVS 1 1/2hp lathe. Now anxiously waiting shipping information and the the machine:D:D

Problem is I have to go out of state for the first week of April and won't get to play with it much before I get back. I have to make room for it either across the road in my 'shop' (daughter's garage) or clean out a back room currently full of tubs full of misc. junk and my wife's books (1000s). I'm leaning toward the latter as I will get more lathe time, but that puts the bandsaw, drill press, table saw, and the mini across the road. Ah well, its only a few more years to full retirement.:)

Nice. Look forward to seeing pics and lots of shavings.

So am I :D

[Steve Schlumpf]

Excellent news! You are going to love that lathe! Looking forward to the photos!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Congrats Thom! May it serve you well!

[Roland Martin]

The vortex is not just a made up word is it Thom?:D:eek: Congratulations, you will absolutely love this machine. I suppose walking across the road on occasion is a fair price to pay. Looking forward to hearing how you like it and seeing some turnings.

[John Keeton]

Thom, glad Sean came through for you - worth the call!! Congrats.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

John, I gave Sean your home phone number. Isn't it time for an upgrade?:confused::eek::D

[Robert McGowen]

The vortex can jump a road and take over another building? Stronger than I thought......:eek:

[bob svoboda]

Great! Can't wait for pic's. A+ for ToolNut.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congratulations! Not me, I'm washing my hands and wiping down my keyboard everytime I visit this site.;)

[Jake Helmboldt]

What's it gonna take Baxter? C'mon, everybody's doin' it. Just try it.

Sean and Tool Nut are worse than crack dealers!;)

Aren't you guys glad there are no lathes on the site. Imagine how much harder it'd be to stay away:p;);)

[charlie knighton]

congratulations, enjoy

[Nick Mastropietro]

Hey Sean - how does it feel to be Santa Clause? You have a way of making peoples wishes come true.

Tom - great choice and another satisfied Toolnut customer. Great that you have joined us.

[gary Zimmel]

Congrats on the new lathe Thom.
Looking forward to seeing pics of it all set up and ready to go....

[Thom Sturgill]

Shipped yesterday, expected to be here Tuesday. :D:D Guess I've got my work cut out for me this weekend getting a space cleared for it.:eek:

Steve, thanks again for the info on the remote switch. That's definitely one mod that I want to do. Now to buy a new insert for my G3 chuck and. . . . the vortex is strong!!
