Woodcraft has their Jet Mini Lathe (Non VS) with a Free Nova Midi Chuck and another 10.00 off the regular Lathe only price of $279. to 269. That is a fine value now!! This is in the flyer that I received today.

Bought that lathe a month ago for LOML to turn pens, bottle stoppers, and other small stuff on. I was really impressed with how quiet it is! Since we didn't really need another chuck, we sold it, bringing the actual lathe cost down to $190.00. :D

I've turned a number of pens on that exact lathe at work. I'm really quite impressed, especially seeing as to how most of my recent work has been on a big Vega bowl lathe! :) Although it lacks the electronic speed control, changing speeds via the belt is really a pretty quick task. I agree...Great deal on a nice little lathe! :) :cool:

John, where do you work that you get to turn pens at work? Another Woodcraft employee or Rockler?

What really irritates me if I had waited 3 weeks before I got my jet mini I could have got a free midi chuck:mad:

I am debating as to purchasing the rikon over the jet. I like the 12" swing
and a few other things on the rikon. Comparing apples to oranges is the
jet that much better?

Is the jet better than the rikon?

I don't know about better, I am sure that the Rikon is a very nice lathe, lots of guys are getting them and the Jet has a long standing track record but either way, the Jet for 269. with a Nova Midi Chuck can't be beat. That is a 375 - 400.00 value.
