Anybody here have a JET JWL-1236 Wood Lathe?

How do you like it? I may have a chance to pick up a used one.

Assuming the price is right, go for it. Even if the bearings are a bit
lose, they are both inexpensive and easy to change out. I have the next
size up (1442) and love it.

One thing though, and this is true for any lathe, build the stand as heavy
as you can. If you build it out of wood, load it with sandbags to where it
weights 300-400 pounds. The same weight applies with steel.
