Jet 1221vs lathe stand

[Jim]

Does anyone have one of these stands? If so can you tell me your thoughts on it, especially if it stable ..

i amsked a similar question on the stand for the 1015, which seemed to get favourable responses, except for the price.

Had a look on Google sure looks like a lightweight answer to me Jim, certainly not for me.

Amazon wants $347.99 seppo dollars for it, I would build my own.

On the bright side Jim you could hang a couple of bags of sand over the mid rail if it does want to wander, the clubs axminster mini lathe stand is of a similar design & is woeful, 2 concrete blocks suspended across the feet has helped a lot.

The small record power stand is ok, cheaper & easy to adapt

A great opportunity Jim to customise your own stand by making to include special features, I fitted an old drawer to hold chisels etc constructed mine like a table brought the drive motor on the top behind the lathe, tons of room to put useful things needed and room for my legs and feet unhindered. But then I have room and sit high to turn.

Thanks guys, off to collect one tomorrow, and a few bags of sand too ..

I have one. It's lightweight and should be way heavier. It's also not tall enough.

Yes, I agree, I have just tested a DML320 with the DML305/A Adjustable Stand and it is quite sturdy. And adjustablefor height. The mounting plates look like they would fit a variety of lathes.

Well i picked it up today, i was getting a feel for it on the display lathe in the store which i thought felt sturdy enough .. I won't be turning anything big anymore so hopefully this will be sufficient ..
