My jet 9x49 is older and well built. I almost pulled the trigger on a Tree UVR and kick myself for it. A couple years later my jet popped up for $1500 and I drove 200 miles to grab it.

I have a Chinese enco at work and it is a pile of crap. The jet mills with the large "m" in the casting are good machines for the money.
