Sorry if this is a redundant question, but I don't recall seeing much
about
this lathe.

I am considering Jet's 1642 - 1.5hp lathe. What are the pro's and con's
regarding this lathe. I have had the opportunity to look at the lathe at
a
local dealer and it seems like a good deal for the money. Yes, I would
love
a Oneway or Stubby, but the Jet's what I can afford right now. I
currently
have the Nova Comet and the Nova Mercury lathes, but I am in need of
something with more capacity.

Any insight is appreciated.

For my money, Dan, I'd add $600 to the purchase price and get the Powermatic
3520. More hp, heavier, and a proven design.
