Review: Make sure the index plate does not slip off the bushing of the head stock. - The lathe itself is excellent. It's solid as a rock and a ton of fun. I really appreciate the indexing head. I did have an issue when assembling the head stock. The index plate slipped out of the bushing which was not allowing it to rest on the table correctly. BE CAREFUL. If you try to tighten the head down to the table you may damage the soft material of the bushing. Customer Support was quick to help and I was able to turn the head stock upside down and re position the index plate and the bushing. Turning it back over was tricky but I managed. Crisis avoided and am now a happy turner!
Review: Powerful and well-made - Good for bowls up to 14” over the bed, larger if the headstock is rotated. Speed range isn’t great, but it is adequate. Very solid when properly set up and leveled. I was disappointed that the speed can only be changed when the lathe is running. Runs quiet (240 vac power). Very happy with the purchase.

## Features

- LOCKING TOOL REST: Positive locking tool rest with redesigned clamping

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing lathe but do not order from acme tool!
*by C***T on November 27, 2021*

As always jet is amazing and stands behind thier product ive been turning for 6 years and have owned nothing but jet lathes. However if you order this from amazon do not go through Acme Tools, when it arrived it was dented and the tailstock waa dented and non functional along with the wire box on the headstock which was sheared off. They have refused any sort of partial refund past 500 which wouldnt even cover parts. The only option they offer is a return and refund which if you look at thier reviews doesnt always happen.
