Location: Madison, WI | Jet is one of the top brands, and I love mine! At the same time I have made a lot of baits on a cheap one I bought from HF and it's still rolling strong.

Location: Victoria,MN | I have a Delta Midi, I have had it for 8 years and have probably turned 400 blanks, mostly maple and oak. The only thing I have had to do to it is replace the belt.
It is small but if you take your time with the hard wood it will get the job done.

Location: Hugo, MN | That's basically the same lathe I have. It will work just fine for a hobby bait maker. |
