I'm interested in buying this lathe but won't without seeing the complete specs and what is/is not included in this price. Is this info available?

It appears so. The repair service finally got the parts for my 46-460 and I now have it back. I did check the Delta online parts and they show the parts to now be in stock where before they showed as unavailable. It was taking so long that I could not be without a lathe I bought a new Jet 1221VS which in my opinion is much better than the Delta. I wish I had went with the Jet in the first place. My Delta is now a secondary I have set up for boring.

The lathe uses an Morse Taper (MT)-2 and from what I understand that size is pretty common. I have not used the lathe very much, but I have no complaints about it. I would have to look closer for the threads for the spindle, but the head 'kit' that I also purchased has an adapter.

Yes, here's the info;Jet 719201 JWL-1221VS Wood Lathe Bed Extension. It is $198.89 if you buy through Amazon

I also looked in my book and couldn't find the info either. I didn't see the information on the saw either. This is a light weight saw. I have used mine quite a bit over the years I've had it. I works great. I did find a phone number you might want to try. 1-877-bosch99. Maybe they have the info you want.

Can't say for certain, but my guess would be NO...since the listing on Amazon gives the impression of being very complete...and does not include the model that you're asking about.

Like with many tools, it depends on what you want to do. I started with a used Atlas lathe that didn't have variable speed but step pulleys and learned that it didn't go slow enough for an out of balance bowl blank. It was fine for spindle turning just not safe for faceplate. If you're just playing with the idea of turning find a used one on Craigslist with variable speed and a 10/12" swing. Jet mini lathes are quite popular with new trurners. The best lathe is a matter of opinion-I'm partial to a Oneway 1640 but unless I could justify it with making money off of it I would go for the Jet 1642, 2 hp. I also have Delta 460 midi.

Had the same problem a couple of years ago. Waited a few months for a spindle. I love the lathe but the parts problem will most likely prevent me from buying any other delta tools.

...sort of. When I got this lathe new, the speed control knob was loose and most often didn't function. Opening up the control box, I found a piece was broken. While under warranty, I didn't want to mess with it and tried to order a replacement. After 6 or 7 attempts and getting shuffled around, I was finally told they didn't have any stock and didn't expect any. I used epoxy to fix it and haven't had a problem since. I've also had no failures since so I can't comment on personal experience lately but over on Sawmillcreek.org, there are lots of complaints regarding parts for all Delta woodworking tools. ...sort of.

No defects. The lathe is the best I have ever had. Extremely reliable, even with very heavy pieces.

I cannot effectively answer this question. The lathe I purchased was used and it was incorrectly advertised as a model 3520B. What I received was a 3520A.

I have turned over 1000 bowls on this lathe and I have not discovered any "defects". It has worked well. I have two other lathes so I have a good comparison. I would prefer the lathe to have a bigger swing so I could turn larger bowls, but that is not a defect.

No defects, have enjoyed the ease of using this lathe almost every day. Have turned hundreds of projects, bowls, goblets, using various woods. No complaints!

I'm sorry but I do not have these details yet. I purchased for Hobby use and I have pulled it from the box but it has been sitting in my shop and I have not yet bolted it down and used. I need to make height alterations to my drill press to use it, which I hope to do this month. I can get back to you.

I copied the specs right from the prod. desc. on Amazon. There are too many to write. Just go to the page and see the info.

The specs ARE bleak! Yes, it comes with a 3 jaw chuck as in the picture and a live center. A 4 jaw chuck is available. Oddly it comes with NO cutting tools -- but other than that, everything is there. In fact, there are so many of these machines in the U.S. market now and all of them made in the same factory in Shanghai, that there is virtually NO accessory that would make any sense that you can't buy. Search for 'little machine shop' -- you'll find a company that carries virtually all of it. I'm trying to think of a sensible small lathe accessory that you couldn't find for these machines -- I REALLY don't know what it would be. You can get steady and carriage rests, larger chucks, faceplate and dogs, collets, I have heard of a toolpost grinder but haven't seen that, various sorts of tool posts, an adapter to use it as a milling machine, metal gears to replace the plastic ones, metal knobs (same deal) ... You get the picture.

The thread is 1" x 8, check the headstock on your lathe.It comes with a 7/8" x 8 adapter as well. Nice set for the money
