Ok, I have been listening to a lot of information about the Jet 1236. Good and Bad.
I am looking to get a larger lathe, but cannot swing 1000+ for the 1442.
So I have been looking at the above options. The castings are identical, but the finish is better on the Jet. I am not going to quit my full time job to turn wood for a living, but I will be doing some work for my wife's business.
I need to go larger than the Jet Mini I have now to turn bowls larger than candy dishes. I have a chuck with the 1x8tpi insert, and would rather not change that.
I need help and opinions in deciding which lathe to purchase.
