[Woodworkers] a question?

[John McCaskill]

Tom, 

I may be confused about which Jet lathe you have. 
Jet lathe 1221VS
Distance Between Centers: 20-1/2”

Beall 3-on lathe buffer 
On one end of this 17" mandrel is machined a #2 Morse taper to fit in the head stock of your lathe; on the other a center to accept the tail stock. 

Should fit no problem. I am not home so can’t do any measurements. 

I no longer have the Jet midi, but used it on that, a Delta midi, and a Colt midi. 

I’ll see what other info I can dig up.
