Amazon's got the new Jet Mini with Variable Speed for $275 with free
shipping. It's listed at $299 but they'll take $25 off that when you
place your order.
With Free Shipping, it usually takes a couple of weeks to arrive. I
ordered mine on a Thursday evening and it arrived Monday morning.
Cheers,

Woodcraft has the Jet Mini for $199.00 A MUCH better choice... plus you can
get a wider variety of accessories for it.

It looks alot like the Craftsman Lathe that appears in the Sears Tool
Catalog. Can't say good/bad. I bought the HF Jet clone a year ago and am
happy with it - it's a good starter lathe. If I had to do it again, I
might try this new larger HF clone. Just my opinion.
