Took delivery on the 1642

[Brian Palmer]

Jet 1642 just arrived got it in pieces in the basement now. Pics to come and hopefully be turning this time tomorrow(stupid work)!

[Chris Studley]

Congrats... enjoy.

[Tom Winship]

Am about ready to pull the trigger also. Did you get the -2 or -1.5?
Congrats.

[Jim Burr]

Woo Hoo!! Gratz Brian! I really think the 1642 is under-rated. Weighted down and balanced, it's hard to beat for the price. I'm still adjusting to the abilities of mine and haven't even chipped the paint (for JK). Enjoy!!

[Roger Chandler]

Congratulations Brian.............I hope you gain a lot of happiness and skills using the Jet 1642...........now go shopping for all the accessories...........new chucks, vac system, tool rests, etc.............:D;)

[Roland Martin]

Congratulations Brian, I hope you like it as much as I do. I have chipped the paint, though (for JK):D

[Steve Schlumpf]

Congrats Brian - you'll love the lathe! Looking forward to the photos!!

[Tim Rinehart]

Congrats...it is a fantastic lathe that you'll enjoy. Look forward to seeing some first shavings/pics!

[Rich Aldrich]

Congrats Brian. You will love it.

[Baxter Smith]

Congrats on the lathe Brian! You will just have to do the lathe version of air guitar.;):)

[David E Keller]

Congrats! I've never turned on one, but I drooled on one at a Woodcraft store... If yours has a rusted spot on the ways, it could be the same lathe!

[Kathy Marshall]

Congrats on the new lathe!

[Donny Lawson]

You've had plenty of time to put it together so where is the pics??????????????????????? Mine was running after about 2 hrs of being home. I had the whole family helping put it together. Quit hiding it and lets see.......

[Kyle Iwamoto]

Now there's a dedicated creeker. Post before he put his lathe together...... I certainly could not wait to plug it in....... Then post.

Congrats! As the others have said, you'll enjoy the lathe.

[Dan Forman]

Well???? :)

Dan

[Mark Gum]

yeah; keep us informed. I'm shopping for a new one.

[John W Dixon]

C'mon Brian you know the rules, no pics didn't happen! He is probably dancing around the shop, grinning from ear to ear, covered in shavings and has completely forgotten about us and our pictures. Oh well congrats anyway, it is a great lathe.

[Brian Palmer]
