The Modern Rose The Modern Rose is a bolt-on conversion kit that turns your existing Jet 1014 mini lathe into a full blown rose engine in about an hour. It imparts full rose engine capabilities to an existing tried and proven platform while preserving conventional fixed high-speed wood lathe operation. This is brand new. You have never seen it before - no one has. Imagine a bolt-on accessory that will impart the ability for your existing lathe to do all of the things a Rose Engine is known for. With various accessories and cams, it will also turn ovals, cut threads, turn a barley twist, and follow a template. Another option is to have the tailstock rock in synchronization with the headstock. Fun for penturners. But wait! Your lathe still functions in the conventional high-speed fixed mode as well. What's even better, you open the box and bolt The Modern Rose onto your lathe in about an hour. Nothing else to make, build or buy before you begin cutting wood! We even use the existing mounting holes so you don't have to cut, drill, thread or tap anything. There is not even any electrical work to do. This is a modular based system so when we develop accessories from time to time, they will easily bolt onto your existing setup. We will never stop innovating and improving The Modern Rose. Who knows what all it will do by the time we are finished. Should you ever wish to remove The Modern Rose (to move it to another lathe or to sell it), you just unbolt it and reassemble your Jet Mini like it came from the factory.
A Working Prototype A working prototype was introduced to the world at the AAW Symposium in Richmond, Va. June 20-22, 2008. The response was amazing. The basic kit is very complete and is everyday value priced at $1,699.00 USD. We offered a discounted "Show Special" price at the Symposium of $1,500.00 USD. Delivery dates are estimated to be November, 2008 to January, 2009. We have decided to extend the AAW Symposium pricing through July 31st, 2008 for those who wish to own one of the first kits but weren't able to take advantage of this special offer at the symposium. The first production run will be 50 kits. As you might expect, sales are brisk so don't hesitate too long. We are committed to holding this price for the first production run, then reserve the right to adjust the price as necessary. The Modern Rose Conversion Kit is protected by Patent Pending status. If you want to own one of the first 50 kits, a $500.00 deposit is all that is required. As this web site is still under construction and not yet credit card secure, simply call me and leave your contact info. I will return your call as soon as possible. Or contact me via email if you wish. A secure shopping cart is coming. See "Products" for what you get. The Buzz We have never had so much fun in all our lives. Everyone stopped by to see the prototype in action. Some names you might recognize are: Jon McGill, David Lindow, Steve White, Nick Cook, David Marks, John Jordan, Alan Lacer, Rex Burningham, Dave Hout, Mike Hare, John Lucas and on and on. They were as fascinated by its simplicity as they were by its performance. If you know them, ask them. We also put it through its paces for dozens and dozens of turners scouting new stuff for their clubs. We expect club sales to be strong for this brand new device. It seemed like we never stopped the demonstrations.
