For anyone looking to purchase some new Jet equipment or some used domestic equipment, I can highly recommend Leigh at MarMachine. I am in no way affiliated with Leigh and have never even met him face to face, but the purchasing experience was exceptional, especially for a first time buyer like me. Leigh offered very competitive prices, responded to many emails, gave me his cell phone and work number in case I had any additional questions, and (here's the kicker) put together an assortment of lathe tools and sample material for me to begin practicing on - for free, didn't even charge me shipping!
Anyway, here is some contact info for anyone trying to reach Leigh:
