I have had exp with the Delta Midi Lathe. Overall it is a well built
machine. With the following exceptions: tailstock and toolrest plastic
locking handles tend to break. I would not recomend using it for large
turnings as I have recently retired my Delta due to bearing failure. (I
turned quite a few larger items on it)

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
