Man, I can't speak for the others, but IDK about Jet. My school has four brand new ones, my class is the first to ever use them. (Along with one other period of the same class.) One of those four machines is already broken down with some kind of electrical problem. "My" machine has more backlash than you'd hope for in a brand new machine despite all the controls being a little stiff, and seems less rigid than it ought to be, plus the fancy-looking DRO isn't that reliable either. It's not just me saying that either, the instructors seem pretty underwhelmed too. They're an improvement over the completely clapped out WW2-era machines they replaced but pretty shit for a machine you or I would pay almost 20k for.
