Go for the Jet Mini. I think the quality is better. At least it was when
they were made in Taiwan.

I am interested in purchasing a mini-lathe for my basement Jet or Delta
what's your opinion. I have a Jet 1642 in the garage and like it very
much.
Larger lathe is in garage and diffcult to work at night time. I think a
small min-lathe will offer the time to turn at night time in te basement
