Jet Mini Lathe Stand (cross-bar for extension option comes WITH center support)
TO whom it may concern in purchasing the Jet (JML-S-BEJ) Lathe Stand Cross Bar item (for use in the extension of the #1014 Jet Mini-Lathe...) I recently ordered this item along with the standard Jet Adjustable Mini-Lathe Stand (model #708354 JML-S) ($129.99). I had a very nice Amazon TPCSR person by the name of Kurt. He was very knowledgeable in trying to ascertain for me my questions on these items for the extension-bed unit for my Jet Mini Lathe model #1014 I purchased two years ago from Amazon. Kurt even called the original OEM mfg.-(WMH-Jet Tools) to find out info on this for me as well!- Fast forward-per my receipt of the shipped product at my studio today and to dispel any confusion for prospective buyers of this item, when you purchase the (JML-S-BEJ) Lathe Stand Cross Bar item ($84.15)-it ALSO comes with the required CENTER vertical support bar leg that installs at the half-way junction of the stand configuration-assembly. This as I suspected-and as I have seen in other tool product catalogs- is something that Jet designed to support/accommodate the extra weight-bearing center point of the extended lathe bed itself. Although my very nice new Amazon friend Kurt advised me from his conversation with the OEM that my Jet mini-lathe model (#1014) did NOT require the vertical center leg support unit-it nonetheless and to my utter satisfaction came with the horizontal cross bar unit. BOTH pieces are made like a (fxhkytxig!!) solid steel Sherman Tank-well made & finished and as heavy-which is great for the overall & much needed stability of the lathe stand itself when I get that final order in the next few days. You won't be disappointed at all! Can one actually be so fulfilled and estatic about such items in life like a lathe stand accessory? By Golly- Apparently So!

Great Accessaory if you have the Bed Extension
This extension is heavy and solid just like the mini stand! The picture does not show the additional vertical piece that connects where the extension meets the original crossbar. When I bought my Jet 1014 used it came with a bed extension and was mounted on a pine 2"X8" and then mounted on the Jet mini stand. I thought it was clever way to avoid buying the extension until I realized that this placed the feet of the stand too far in and became a safety hazard to avoid tripping over them when turning. I was fortunate that the extension was only $54 with free shipping when I got last June.

NOW....less costly.
Amazon/WMH has now fixed the price where it belongs, $55. It is very strong, just like the stand to which it attaches. I now give it 5 stars.
