Bruce;
I did not want to hijack your thread about your new Rikon Lathe, but I have to ask what it was about the Rikon that made you give up your Jet? I have been researching minis and it seems that everyone suggests the Jet above the Rikon. I even went to visit the new Woodcraft in Merrillville Indiana to look at the Rikon and the salesman steered me away from the Rikon in a rather vigorous maner. I am looking to purchase my lathe the first week of february when they have their "Grand opening" but now I am even more unsure of which to get.
Thanks for any advice you may have.
Chuck
