I got a Jet 1442 VSK yesterday for $850 including a few extras.. and
free assembly, since it was a floor model... very nice lathe...
In fear of starting a ****ing match, I have to say that I'm really
glad that I didn't decide to save $200 and get the Delta 14"...this is
a much nicer lathe..

I've been really happy with my 1442, for all of the last two months. It
replaced a Shopsmith, which is now holding up boxes in the shed. My wife
was concerned that I was going to order the big Oneway as well. Maybe next
year. ;-)

My major dissatisfaction is that I don't have enough time to get to all of
the green wood (free) that is piling up in the bowl blank preparation area
in the yard.

Isn't it nice that's the worst of my worries? ;-)
