Why not let it be bought by someone who would actually want it and value it
for what it is? There are many home machinists on this NG who don't have big

lathe, even a "cheap" Taiwanese or Chinese Jet lathe.



That's probably where it'll end up. They can get it at the auction,
or later from Karl.

My impression is that Jet is a cut above most of the asian import
stuff in quality and in price.


The old Taiwan Jets seem to be pretty
good machines. Certainly better than
the current crop.
