I know a lot of guys on here use mini lathes, here is a link to a sale on the Jet mini-lathe stand for $120 delivered. Retail is $150 and it usually carries high shipping due to size/weight.

Thanks for the link.....I may have to pick one of those up...really helps the lathe to be portable and well as stable...I am also thinking about the new little Jet with the indexing head.....might be a nice combo.

I think there's a sale coming up on the lathe you are talking about too Arky. Saw them for 199.99 at Woodcraft and they are having 10% off Jet products on April 14.
