Just wanted to mention / recommend Northwest Power Tools for your next Jet tool purchase. I have bought two Jet Mini Lathes from them, and was very pleased with the service / price. I had a small problem with the paint job on the tailstock of the brand new 2nd unit, and Rhonda from Northwest took care of it very nicely (and quick too)!.
I am not related, don't work for, and have no financial interest in the company. These days though, it's hard to find a company that acts like it actually cares and will take care of things promptly.
Might want to try them out for your next purchase. I bought the Mini Lathe for a little over $200.00 delivered. No gripes here.
