I am reading the recent Wood Magazine that came in the mail (issue 230) and there is a review of 12" midi lathes.
The reviewer claims that he experienced significant vibration with the 1221 when using a chuck or faceplate. He believes that the cause is a narrow shoulder on the spindle threads comparative to others. He was apparently told by jet that they will widen it in the future.
He claims that moving the chuck to another lathe solved the vibration.
I was surprised to read this as I've found my lathe very smooth.
Has anybody else found this? I'm wondering whether his test lathe had an issue.
