I bought a JET wood lathe (1442 model), and I it was fine until I started having problems. I Certified factory repair company did not know how to service this lathe, Woodcraft blaimed me for its problems, and, after I suffered serious enjuries to my FACE AND EYE, THEY WOULD DO NOTHING, BLAIMING IT ALL ON ME AND MY TURNING METHODS. I will never shop in those stores again, and there is no need, as there is Hartville and other stores to shop. Shop around on the enternet for othe companies such as Hartville, and Many others and even Home Depot andLowes.
