I have owned a Jet 1442 for about two years and I am very satisfied. I am
not a "dedicated" woodturner but use the machine to fabricate parts for my
woodworking projects. I have, however, made a few of simple vases, etc.
The only complaint I had was a sticking speed control and periodic cleaning
of the belt mechanism fixes that (I think time has loosened it up too). The
machine has plenty of power to do any project I need to do in my shop.

I would buy it again.
