Interstate move to smaller house means I have to downsize my wood shop. Much to my chagrin, the 1840 must go.

I do have all the accessories that came with it even thought they're not shown in the picture.

For the time being I will be keeping all the chucks and misc. tool but that may change soon.

The lowest new price I see for these today is 3,499.99 so I believe 2,500 is a fair starting price.

Lathe is located in Martinsville, VA. That's an hour north of Greensboro, NC and an hour South of Roanoke, VA.
Hopefully someone close can come pick it up.

I will be in and out of town as I move and prep the house to sell so this may take a few days to arrange a meet and sale.
I doubt I will see and/or respond to messages on the forum here in a timely manner so,
Please email me if interested at forrestimo@gmail.com

This lathe has been 100% trouble free and I hate to see it go but the alternative is paying for storage so here we go...

Oh how I loved my Versys 650. I had to alas, upgrade to a Concours14. In other news, I wish JET hadn't ditched the pivoting head, my 1640evs still rotates and that allows me to better align the head and tail for boring.

I never noticed any alignment issues and had no problems boring holes as long as my bits were sharp. My previous lathe, a Nova 1624, had a pivoting head and lot of slop in it. I only wrestled with that thing for a couple weeks before sending it on its way and buying the Jet. Even though I thought I needed a pivoting head at the time, I never found myself needing or wanting it in practice. As always, your experiences are different than mine.
