4/9/2013 5.0 Works great, super turn down. By Just Rob from Charleston, WV About Me Beginner Pros Durable Easy To Use Good Design Powerful Turn Down Cons Lock Down Pin Design Best Uses Home Use Comments about Jet 1221VS Lathe : I'm a beginner turner, so I don't have a lot to compare with, but I've been very happy so far. Tool rests are rock solid, quality construction, soft start, and very quiet. Belt changes are extremely easy and fast, although I don't find that I have to change belts very often as the range on the middle belt is good for most things I've done. The overall wide range of speeds is excellent and I could see the slow speeds coming in handy for other hobbies I've played around with, like sanding handles for fly rods. The digital RPM readout is handy for me since I don't have much experience turning and don't have a feel for speeds yet, so I find myself starting off at speeds based on recommendations from videos and books and adjust from there. The lathe was a bit on the high price end for me, and I definitely couldn't see paying that much for the stand, so I built my own. It's working great and I get no noticable vibration even when turning some small bowls. Only negative I've found is the same as another reviewer, I have trouble matching up the locking pin to the hole in the shaft. Not a big issue, but takes a few aggrevating seconds to get it lined up. Minor issue at most. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase and I'm really enjoying turning with it. Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Please let us know what kind of issue this is: Profanity Wrong product Spam Duplicate Copyright violation Not a product review Customer image Problem with image Other Email Address: Comments:
