Can anyone tell me if Jet lathes are any good for the home workshop? I can
get a 9x20 with the stand and all the tooling locally for $500.00 . It's 4
yrs old and in great shape. Thx....John

I would pass on a 9x20 - see Dick's comments...
I have had a 12x36 for over 20 yrs, granted my use has been light duty,
but for a home workshop it is the best for the money, by far...
a used one will be hard to find.
