Aye, the model that they've (Jet) had massive headaches with motor problems. Both Phil and myself had ours returned and refunded (at least I think Phils was too), they never found a solution over several months at that point, and issued a full refund and small discount on a different model to me. Axminster indicated they had 'hundreds' quarantined in their warehouse for that motor issue, on top of that my tailstock/headstock were out of alignment.

Going by mine and others experiences I'd be cautious and, if purchased, perform a number of checks and keep a very keen eye on it. Hopefully they've resolved the problems now.

I'm glad you said that about this lathe, I was thinking about one of these

Interesting Greg - because I'm still waiting for my refund!!!! On this occasion it appears that the legendary, second to none customer service of Axminster has the forgotten the "second" part of the phrase.

Huge problem not confined, sad really so many happy owners of different models.

The white paint adds a lot of $$ to the price down here compared to a orange or blue etc paint.

If you want more info from my side/experience Phil give me a shout, more than happy to recall the tale if it helps you get your situation resolved.
