Jens, I have a Jet lathe but I can't tell if it is a Jinan or Chin Hung 
or what.  If there were a way to tell about who manufactured it, perhaps 
a lot of responses could be obtained.  I know Jet is made in China 
(Taiwan or Mainland, wherever) but it has been rebranded Jet.  Maybe what 
we need here is some information from the various importers or some 
information from Jinan or Chin Hung as to what brands they apply to 
lathes they export.

I don't think we are reticent to reply to you - I think we don't know the 
answer.  I will look into this since I have many Chinese friends who can 
read the characters and tell me who made my Jet and maybe suggest something.

Not necessarily.  I think Jet sells some lathes that big.

This doesn't help you with the lathe question any, but my Jet milling
machine was made by Kao Fong.
