Has anyone got one? I'm thinking of upgrading to one from a dml 24 for the ease of use (cam action clamps, variable speed, increase in bowl capacity). I did want a Jet 1220vs but they're not available (new) any more, so just thought I'd ask if there's any experience with that lathe here.

Thanks! Brian.
 
Hi Brian,
Did you see that there was a 1416VS for sale on the forum for sale section.

Much better lathe than either of your proposals for £500.

Might have a look, but postage overseas is usually expensive!
Was also looking at a Record DML305 which is similar size/capacity it seems.
