I will pick this up on Monday in Seattle; it replaces my Jet 1442. To say that I am excited is an understatement!

This package, used, came in at less than the 1.5 HP Jet 1642, the only other option that I had considered as an upgrade. The better news is that my lovely wife agreed that this is the right time to make this change. Can a guy be any luckier than that!?

Looks really clean for used. Are you sure it was used? Congratulations. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine that looks very similar with bed extension.

Looks great John. Come up while the weather is still nice and get some wood.

That's not yellow John, its "mustard!" So now you should make yourself aware of membership on the "Mustard Monster" owners site.

After 11.5 hrs. and almost 600 miles, this baby is home! Assembly (and unloading, for that matter!) will have to wait for another day. This was a better deal than hoped for, as it included 5 lightly used Crown gouges, a beefy Sorby scraper, morse taper drill chuck, 3 PM tool rests, 4 faceplates and the bed extension. The owner turned 8 bowls on it and that was it!

Congratulations, John! This kind of thing usually only happens during stage 5 sleep!

You should really feel guilty for getting a deal like that. Hope you have it put together and running.
