Due to some unexpected events, I had to sell my Jet 1236....

...to give room to my new (slightly used) POWERMATIC 3520B http://www.woodworking.com/dcforum/Images/bigsmile.gif

I assumed wrong (not used)...it is brand new!!! :D

WooHooo!!!



Yep, this is a shameless GLOAT http://www.woodworking.com/dcforum/Images/wink.gif

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of that 1236. I guess if you have to go from Mayo Jr. to Mustard ya can't kick much on that. A Mayo Sr. would have been a great move as well but they seem to like to stay with their owners.:) All kidding aside, GREAT GLOAT!!!;)

Congrats on the mustard, Dario!

Okay okay. Slept lousy last night, have a head cold, painted a repaired part of my house all morning, just launched a bowl across the barn, and now I find there's no ice cream in the house - or beer even. Sheesh, don't you guys have days like this?!?!!:D

I assumed it was used but it is NEW!!!

If you notice the end of the wire (lower left) doesn't have any plug yet. :D

Corey,

It was sold to me by a friend who could have sold it easily for $500.00 more. He won this on a turning forum symposium as a door prize...so happened he just bought a similar lathe less than a month prior.

I actually cannot afford the lathe but he worked with me...gave me a tremendous discount and agreed for me to pay until mid-February next year.

He also delivered it and helped me assemble it just a few hours ago.

All I can say is, I am extremely lucky/blessed...to meet such good people.
