BTW,
i paid 1400 for a pristine gap bed 1236 SW900B about a year ago
complete with 3jaw chuck, 4jaw chuck, 11-1/4" faceplate, traveling steady rest, original tool kit-
no steady rest for the bed though ( but i already got one)

very well made and it has a nice speed range and the gear selection is very well planned
I found it out in DenairWhere did you find it? I just missed a Jet the other day in my town

I’d buy a gently used machine over a new machine. The original buyer pays the hit for a new machine, you can have it for a fraction of the original priceWould you buy this over new Precision Matthews PM-1030v? I'm a newbie to this hobby so Im pricing
Lathes out. I found this one I have shown in the picture. While I know they are different in size just want to make one purchase if possible not buy a machine that may not meet current market standards or my level of use in the event i need to resale.

PM has nice machines, but I won’t pay double just to get a new machine
