Jim Hoben’s JET Mini Lathe & Tormek Sharpening Jig

If you’ve been thinking about getting into woodturning — or adding a compact, reliable lathe to your shop — this is a great opportunity. Long‑time member Jim Hoben is offering his well‑kept JET JML‑1014 Mini Lathe, complete with the optional stand extension and a Tormek sharpening jig. This is a turnkey great package for anyone wanting to turn bowls, spindles, ornaments, pens, tool handles, and more.

⭐ Why This Lathe Is a Great Find

The JET JML‑1014 has been a favorite in small shops and turning clubs for years. It’s built on a heavy cast‑iron bed for stability and smooth operation, and its 1/2 HP TEFC motor delivers consistent power for most small‑to‑medium turning projects. With six spindle speeds (500–3900 RPM), it handles everything from roughing to finish cuts.

Jim’s machine also includes the JET stand extension, giving you a comfortable working height and a more stable footprint — a big upgrade over benchtop-only setups.

Key Lathe Features

  • Model: JET JML‑1014

  • Motor: 1/2 HP, 115V, TEFC

  • Speed Range: 500, 840, 1240, 1800, 2630, 3900 RPM

  • Swing Over Bed: 10"

  • Distance Between Centers: 14" (extendable to ~40" with optional bed extension)

  • Spindle Thread: 1"–8 TPI (compatible with most common chucks)

  • #2 Morse taper in both headstock and tailstock

  • Cast‑iron construction for vibration control

  • Indexing capability for fluting, veining, and layout work

  • Self‑ejecting tailstock for easy center removal

This is a durable, proven platform — ideal for beginners and experienced turners alike

🔧 Included Sharpening System: Tormek Turning Tool Setter (TTS‑100) & Jig

Along with the lathe, Jim is including a Tormek turning‑tool jig setup, the gold standard for consistent, repeatable bevels on gouges, skews, and scrapers.

The TTS‑100 Turning Tool Setter ensures:

  • Consistent bevel angles every time

  • Faster sharpening with less metal removal

  • Repeatable profiles across all your turning tools

This is a huge value add — many new turners struggle most with sharpening, and this setup removes the guesswork.

If you are interested, you can contact Jim Hoben at 404-402-6742 for more information. Pickup will be in Duluth, GA.

Rob Austin is looking to sell his Axiom AutoRoute i2R‑8 CNC Router Package. 

If you’ve been thinking about stepping into CNC woodworking -- or upgrading from a smaller desktop machine, this month’s spotlight might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. Long‑time member Rob is parting with his well‑equipped Axiom AutoRoute i2R‑8, and it’s a fantastic opportunity for someone in the Guild to bring a serious, capable CNC into their shop.

What’s Included

This isn’t just the base machine. Rob’s setup comes with a thoughtful collection of accessories that make the i2R‑8 far more versatile and shop‑ready than a typical starter package:

  • Axiom AutoRoute i2R‑8 CNC A rigid, accurate, hobby‑plus machine with a generous working envelope -- ideal for cabinetry parts, signs, templates, jigs, and small‑batch production.

  • i2RSTAND8 - Axiom Stand A purpose‑built steel stand that brings the machine to a comfortable working height and keeps the footprint tidy.

  • ATB001 - Axiom i2R Tool Box A dedicated storage system for bits, collets, wrenches, and setup tools.

  • ADS110 - Axiom Dust Shoe (i2R) Helps keep chips under control and improves visibility during cuts.

  • AODi2R – Axiom Overarm Dust System A major upgrade for dust collection, especially for longer jobs or deeper passes.

  • AHC102 - Axiom Hold‑Down Clamps (Pair) Rock‑solid workholding for repeatable, safe machining.

  • AVK500 - Axiom Vacuum Hold‑Down Kit Perfect for sheet goods, templates, and production runs where mechanical clamps get in the way.

  • Additional accessories A mix of extra hold‑downs, router bits, and miscellaneous setup tools - the kind of practical add‑ons that save you time and money when getting started.

Why This Setup Stands Out

For anyone new to CNC, the biggest hurdle is often the ecosystem -- the stand, the dust management, the clamps, the vacuum kit, the bits. Rob’s package checks all those boxes. It’s a turnkey setup that lets you focus on learning the machine rather than hunting down accessories.

For more experienced users, the i2R‑8 offers the rigidity and accuracy needed for production‑quality work without the footprint or electrical demands of a full industrial machine.

Rob has more than $7,500 wrapped up in this system, and the same package still sells for over $7,000 new. He’s letting it go for $4,000, which is an absolute steal for anyone ready to jump into serious CNC work.

If you have any questions, text or call Rob at 770-286-9797
