I have the VS Jet Midi lathe. I bought this particular machine for one reason. I through drill my plugs with the chuck in the head stock. I also cup my poppers with a combination of a forstner bit and ball rasp. All done with my drill chuck in the headstock. The different tools require different spindle speeds. With the VS speed machine I make less belt/pulley changes.

SO, is the lathe worth the extra $$................yup!

Tip; watch the tool crib at Amazon. I got my VS lathe complete with bed extension for $100 less that the set speed machine....with free shipping. During the Christmas season last year.
