Product arrived in tact, and contained all the advertised parts. It took longer to unpack than to set up on my Jet JML-1014 lathe, and it fit perfectly. Highly recommended.
Hooks right up to the Jet 1040I with no trouble at all and adds much needed room for larger items. As solid as the lathe; exceptional construction. If you get a Jet mini-lathe, you need this for the price.
If you own a Jet 1014 and you do any spindle turning outside of pens, I would highly reccomend you buy the bed extension. Now that I have the extension, I am no longer limited. I mainly turn bowls and pens, but occassionaly turn spindles. Before buying the extension, I designed projects around the size of my bed. As far as installation goes, it took me all of about 15 to 20 minutes to install and align the bed extension. The holes were drilled dead on accurate and I have no issues with the banjo or tail stock catching on the transition - it's as if it was one solid piece all along.
If you are going to order the mini lathe, you'll need this to turn anything of length. Another rock solid cast iron tool.
I have a mini Jet and wanted to be able to do a little larger work. The bed extension did not just bolt up, I had to do some drilling, filing work that I feel with the money spent I should not have had to do. Once all that said and done it did give me the option to do larger work.
