Jet currently has a promotion for the mini lathe to sell for $199. This
price should be found at Woodcraft, Pen State, your local dealer or anywhere
else that sells Jet. This price will be good until the end of April when
the price is said to be going back up to the normal $349. Their variable
speed version will be going back up from the current $299 also. So if any
of you are considering the Jet mini - sooner is better than later. I work
for a Jet dealer, and that's what Jet is telling us. I myself don't own a
Jet mini lathe, but I wouldn't hesitate in an instant to purchase one if I
didn't already own two mini lathes already.

I'm looking to buy a small lathe, for pen turning only. Would like a
decent quality lathe, without getting too crazy. I have no desire or
plans for doing anything bigger, and space is a premium. I"ve done
some searches, read the penmaking group on Yahoo's site, etc., but get
no real concensus of opinion on what a good lathe would be.

Anyone here have any experience turning pens, and maybe point me in
the "right" direction? Thanks for any and all help, even opinions
would be appreciated at this point...
