Find Best Price at Amazon"My lathe setup prior to the Delta was a 1983 ShopSmith Mark V. The SS worked fine for small projects like pens and tops, but since the lowest speed is about 700RPM, it does not work well for anything larger. So that is why I started looking for a new lathe and one that would go down below 500RPM. My research shows that to get lower speed lathes requires a minimum of $1500 to get something like a larger Grizzly. The headstock does not swivel (it is fixed) for outboard turning so the largest it takes is 12in and since it can get down to about 250RPM, I can comfortably start a larger blank without pucker factor. If I upgrade again in the future, it will be to get a larger swing or outboard turning if at all. There are a few small gripes which made it lose a star: - The FWD/RVS switch was wired backwards out of the box. - No digital speed read out, however there is a speed chart that matches the numbers on the speed knob, so it is easy to hit a specific speed if you need it."
"After teaching myself to turn on an old Atlas lathe I "upgraded" to the Delta 46-460 after reading several reviews."
"and stripped part of my spindle threads by trying to remove it without loosening them. Let me start by saying that I've only had this lathe for about 2 months, but have been turning for a few years. I needed a lathe that was small enough to not take up too much space in my dad's shop, but beefy enough for the projects that I would like to do."
"However, I had to replace the spindle due to problems not related to the manufacturer and found Delta's customer and parts service absolutely horrible. I would caution anyone who buys a Delta product to thoroughly research their ability to provide post sale service."
The new JET 1015 is an ideal choice for the novice woodturner looking for an affordable, user-friendly first lathe, as well as the advanced enthusiast or professional who wants to add a full-featured mini-lathe to the shop. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.

"Recommended by friends and it lived up to all their claims."
"This is my first lathe."
"No problem, after I learnt to tighten the motor tench-en to stop it from rattling."
"Incredible machine!"
"Works fantastically!"
"So it was great but then it decided it didn't want to work properly and looks as if it was dropped in shipping because the metal is broken under the motor.......steel is not going to break like when the machine is being use properly...... disappointed."
