I bought a jet mini about a year ago. Non variable speed. Cost about
$180.00. Variable speed is in no way necessary on a wood lathe. Also, the
variable speed lathes often are very lacking in torque at slow speeds.

That is the one that I was looking for, but it seems like it is no
longer available. It seems like it was replaced by an indexing model.
Which leads me to ask how useful is variable speed and indexing. I
have never used a lathe, but have done a lot of wood working.

Is the Jet 1014 still available? Amazon says Currently unavailable.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.

The sanding catalog has a 1014VSI for $329. Is that a good deal? Or
can I find a better deal?
