Yeah, the Delta is a real pos.

Now, which Lowes is this?? :-)

Let me start by saying it`s a slippery slope........

Ok, I`ve got a Jet mini lathe. Step pulley model. Snagged it when Amazon
had
`em on sale for 199.99

Now the local Lowes has one of the Delta`s left for the 169 (plus don't
forget Delta turning tool or bed extension promotion).

Is the Delta that much better of a tool to consider buying one to replace
the Jet ?
Figured I could sell the Jet and recoup some of the cost. But don`t want
to
waste money on redundant tooling if there isn't much to be gained.

Now I don`t do a lot of turning and I do have a Powermatic 90 for big
stuff.
But I do like taking the mini/midi on vacation and using it away from the
shop.

Thanks to all.
