I purchased mine about 3 years ago turned many bowls, boxes, pens and pepper-mills. The lathe has served me well with one problem the cooling fan on the motor slipped. The jet dealer sen me a new one which took two days to arrive with no questions asked. Service is excellent. If you have the money I would go for the 1642 with electronic speed control. Like another posting said the motor is mounted in such a way you if you reverse a bowl to turn the bottom the rim will hit the motor.Originally Posted by Tom Henry
