Jet or Delta?

[Dawn Sunkle]

I have been reading alot about the Jet mini, but what about the Delta?
What are the pros and cons between the two?
I'm still in my research of phase of getting a larger lathe.. still about 2 months our from purchase date.. but can't do enough research and personal feedback.

Thanks for your imput.

I have wondered this too. The Jet gets a lot of talk, but no-one ever mentions Delta's version. I had a Delta midi lathe which I recently sold. It was a fine lathe, I just wanted a bigger one. Of course, never having tried the Jet, I have no way to compare.

A Delta or Jet what? What are you looking at and what do you intend to turn?

Delta or Jet Mini Lathe
and it doesn't really matter what your turning.. I'm just interested in what folks think about each of them and their pros and cons.
When I finaly get a decent lathe I'll be turning mainily smaller things, hince getting the mini, mainly pens for now, but don't want to limit myself.
