 good lathe for the priceAug 24, 2010
I bought this lathe to turn pens on which it does just fine and I'm also glad that I got the variable speed, this makes pen turning so much easier. Out of the box the tail stock spindle hand wheel was bent, most likely from shipping, all it took was a couple of lights taps with a soft face hammer and it was good to go. The lathe is smooth at all but the highest rpm's but it still does not cause any issues. From other reviews that I read people were commenting about how difficult it was to change the belt, while it not the most user friendly I find the middle pulleys do everything I need so I don't change the belt at all. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a compact lathe to turn small parts on.

 JetJML 1014VSIJul 15, 2010
I bought this lathe from the Rockler Woodworking and Hardware, 29918 Woodward Ave, Royal Oak, MI 48073 . I had a slight problem with the lathe. The head stock center was higher than the tail-stock center. Very bad for spindle turning. I went back to Rockler and they totally blew me off and would do nothing for me. They sent me to Glenn Wing Power Tools, 33656 Woodward Avenue, Birmingham, MI 48009-0910. They did very little to nothing to correct the problem. So I called Jet Service and they sent me to Marsh Power Tools, 20579 Middlebelt Road, Livonia, MI. Jet called Marsh and told them I would be bringing the lathe over. Marsh machined the head stock down and matched it to the tail stock, so the centers were in line.
This is a great little lathe but buyer be ware. Some of these lathes do not line up between centers. Jet was great in handling my problem. Rockler SUCKS.

Great quality, user friendly Midi Lathe.Jul 10, 2010
When i was researching the different brands and such prior to the purchase of a lathe it was somewhat obvious from reviews all across the internet that woodworkers loved their Jet lathes.
So i decided to go with the Jet Midi Variable Speed 1014 wood lathe and i am so glad that i did. This tool is a great tool for the money.
Has an extra solid split lathe bed that cuts down on any potential vibrations and movements while the motor is spinning at high rpms. My lathe runs super smooth.
It comes with rubber feet which one can remove and bolt it down to a tabletop through the 3/8" holes left behind where the rubber feet were.
Stable, quiet, very tight tolerances, user friendly
The variable speed may costs a little more but trust me it is super nice to have to transition from turning to sanding and back to shaping up some fine details again which require to increase spindle speeds.
You will not be disappointed with this machine, solid, well designed and engineered piece of equipment.

Excellent little lathe perfect for small turning production or hobbyNov 20, 2009
Impressive little lathe. I bought mine about a year and a half ago, (March 2008) and I've been using it almost daily ever since. I love the way that its so quiet. I also have a Shop Smith Mark V and when running it in lathe mode, ( or any other) it makes so much noise that you can't hear anything else over it. this little lathe is whisper quiet at all speeds. All you hear is a soft hummm. I've been turning mostly pens so I don't know how well it would perform turning something larger but its half hp motor should be able to handle almost anything that will fit between centers. The variable speed on it has definitely spoiled me. After having it I can't imagine trying to run the lathe without it. It does have a 3 step pulley in it giving it 3 speed ranges. For the smaller items leaving it in the mid range or high will still give you enough speed variation to run a complete part from rough turning to finish polishing without having to change speed range. The only complaints that I have about it is the live center that it came with for one. The bearing went out in it after only 6 or 8 months of use. And the on/off toggle switch for another. I've had to replace it once, about six months ago and its starting to go out again already. Its definitely been worth the investment and I would recommend it to anybody wanting to get started turning wood on a low budget. Don't waist your money on a cheaply made machine. After trying this little lathe if you decide that your not that interested in wood turning it should still have a high resale value and you will be able to get most of your money back out of it.

Buy it; do it now.Oct 06, 2009
This is a good piece of equipment. The variable speed option is worth the money. If you are a newbie, get ready to spend some money for related tools. Woodturning is a great hobby, but good tools make it much better.
