This morning during my first turning my Jet 1442 variable speed crashed. It would only run in the slowest speed. I could not get it resolved or really figure out what was causing the problem. But wait, its a bird, its a plane, no its a 30 year old craftsman that I learned to turn on and used for 3 decades. Still works, a bit rough but it works. This will slow me down and result in some long hours.
I finally got the Jet to where I could change speeds but it won't hold at a speed. It appears there is a keeper ring that came loose on the shaft. It may even be bad bearings. If anyone has a Jet 1442 that can offer some advice or suggestions I would be eternally grateful.(Tossing it and getting a Oneway is not an option)
