Jet Mini....I love mine.....Takes a Dupicator fine and is reasonable at about $250

A lot of guys use the Jet mini and are happy with them.
I'm pretty sure you can attach duplicators to them.

I have a full size 36" Jet and it works great for me

Are you sure you want to do this Jim?
I can't wait to see what you create.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

No I am not. I am very concerned about how much time this will absorb. But after going to plugfest I am dying to try a few things. Actually I just finished off my workshop area and can move around back there and have most of the stuff I need to try this.
Also I think my kid may have an interest in doing this so perhaps a good father/son thing. He liked making the jigs and enjoys shop so ...better then playing XBOX.

Have both jet and delta mini's.....delta is far more user friendly....switch is in a better location where you can reach it after the dupy is attached....locking bars are bigger[rubber coated]..wheel is bigger....pulley system is far easier to access..overall I'd say if your buying just one machine.....delta is worth a few dollars more.

BOAT fish do count.

Jim, check around the island to see if there are any Shopsmiths out there not being used. I got one at a yard sale in my neighborhood! Saltyric uses them too, He inherited his father's, and then had a guy give him a seond one! He has one to turn and one to drill thru... lucky bastid
