I bought this little lathe with the extension with the idea of saving some money since all I wanted to do is turn spindle legs.
I actually got it free with my lathe purchase. It fit fine, was easy to install and adds some heft which is always helpful to reduce vibration.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a typical JET experience for me, September 9, 2004

This review is from: Jet 708355 JML-BE Bed Extension for 708351B JML-1014 Lathe (Tools & Home Improvement)

I had to return the first extension received as there was no way to "tweak" it satisfactorily. Second extension arrived a few days ago and is better, but still a problem to align with the lathe bed. I have spend a few hours trying to make it work smoothly, and have made progress, but this is frustrating.

I love the mini lathe, but the extension is not 100%. If you think you will ever want a longer bed than the 14" the Jet mini has, purchase on that comes that way.

Looks as if the earlier problems with hole alignment have been corrected. This one went onto the jet vs mini with no alignment problems or needs to shim or shave. Works as advertised. Installation was just tightining two bolts setting the heigth of a mounting plate and leveling with the included feet.
