Product arrived in tact, and contained all the advertised parts. Highly recommended. It took longer to unpack than to set up on my Jet JML-1014 lathe, and it fit perfectly.
Hooks right up to the Jet 1040I with no trouble at all and adds much needed room for larger items. If you get a Jet mini-lathe, you need this for the price. As solid as the lathe; exceptional construction.
As far as installation goes, it took me all of about 15 to 20 minutes to install and align the bed extension. I mainly turn bowls and pens, but occassionaly turn spindles. If you own a Jet 1014 and you do any spindle turning outside of pens, I would highly reccomend you buy the bed extension. Before buying the extension, I designed projects around the size of my bed. The holes were drilled dead on accurate and I have no issues with the banjo or tail stock catching on the transition - it's as if it was one solid piece all along. Now that I have the extension, I am no longer limited.
If you are going to order the mini lathe, you'll need this to turn anything of length. Another rock solid cast iron tool.
I have a mini Jet and wanted to be able to do a little larger work. Once all that said and done it did give me the option to do larger work. The bed extension did not just bolt up, I had to do some drilling, filing work that I feel with the money spent I should not have had to do.
