The stand for the 1221 seems rather lightweight and overpriced. Anyone have any experience with this stand.

I bought a stand from Woodcraft and put a varnished plywood top on it. I cut some off from the legs so that the centerline of the lathe is approximately elbow height. I am well satisfied with this arrangement.

Overpriced, yes. I hope to catch it on a crazy sale somewhere, until then I'm not even thinking about buying it. Not sure how well it's built. I'm set up on my benchtop and not taking up any room having it on a stand so I may never get one anyway.

I have the lathe, but I built my own stand... partly because I was cheap and partly because the one offered by Jet didn't have the features I wanted.

I bought the jet stand shortly after buying the lathe - reluctantly. It is a great lathe AND a perfectly built stand but compared to other lathe manufacturers who often include their stands, I feel it is very overpriced. Time is money and I needed time so I went for it. Very solid and compact and holds the lathe in place rock solid. Whether you get it or not, you are overspending for convenience.

The stand is very sturdy and we'll built. The mounting holes and lathe align exactly.

I purchased the stand based on the same reservations as you and glad I did. Saves space in my workshop and very substantial. I do think it is over priced.

I too wanted the stand for this but at over $300 I cant justify that, I ended up using this one and it works perfectly http://www.pennstateind.com/store/LVSTAND.html

Go to Asian Market e.g Ranch99 or Daisho; you might get the stand with cheaper price the original one.

I found the "smart case" to be very unstable, so I got the stand that Amazon suggests you buy with it. It also reduces the footprint significantly.

I would suggest buying a sandbag or two just for the precaution. It is a really nice stand but it is reasonably lightweight so it is a little prone to tipping (but most stands in this price range would be.)

Jessica, I would check the specs on the monitor stand( you probably already have) . I wish I could be more help as I currently am using the Monitor on its original stand. If you post a link to your dual arm stand maybe I can help or somebody else could look into it. The monitor is truly amazing. gluck Jessica

Looking at the listing, it looks like it changed. Its pretty misleading now. I think I paid around 200 and it had a stand

I bought this stand for my Q100 and ran into the same problem - the grill is too small for platform. I ended up just cutting a piece of plywood to the appropriate size and gave it a few coats of paint. So far it's been holding up fine for about a year.

Which Stand did you end up buying? I am looking for decent one that is compatible with this kit. I would greatly appreciate your input.

I have one of these for a stand: Large Display Stand Clear Base/White WireIt's pretty awesome. If done right, it holds it at an angle, but you can't see the stand, so it look like the Falcon is floating.

I personally think that would be a great mount for that monitor. The 2312hm only weighs 6.53 pounds, and the mount has the two different hole patterns; so, if the pattern is smaller than the standard 100 you should still be covered. Hope that helps.

Hi Greg!Thanks for the response. I can't seem to find this stand at any major retailer. :/ Any other ideas?

Yeah, the stands that come with the kit are pretty weak but I like the lights and the boxes. Fortunately I had a couple of 8 or 9' Impact stands. They're much better build quality and even have air cushioning. They even have a heavy duty version but I don't own any of those. If you replace them they may be fine whenever you need an extra stand for some light-weight rigging.

No it doesent sad enough. I had to buy the stand on its own. Thing is the official stand is way over priced. It cost as much as a good mg when i went to buy one. I bought a generic non-bandai stand for 20 and it worked just as good

this stand is almost like the other. a recomendation for used is put a sand bags betwen the legs of the stand for more stability

The price for this stand is way too much for what it is. I'd check out an outdoorsman store and physically see the differences.

The stand is pretty thick plastic, and I don't see it breaking without some serious knocks to it. If you are worried, I would consider looking at HP's line of monitors that mimic Apple's displays with the solid metal bases. That said, I am a photographer that does on-location shooting, and while I have yet to bring this monitor with me, I have no doubts that it will do just fine!
