Help Please

[Jim in Oakville]

Hi All, I need some help. I have a Jet Mini lathe and the locking screw for the quil is now stripped and I can not use the rachet style leaver any more to lock it down (See photo, A).

I do not know where to get a replacement, Jet will not ship to Canada. I think this maybe the same one on the Delta Midi, not sure, where can I get one??

Thanks!!!

Threaded handle

Jim,
.I found a similar handle for my mortising machine from McMaster Carr.

McMaster-Carr

I have one handle sitting on my (un)used Delta that I could send your way until you find a replacement.I have to order something similar as the handle on the tool rest on the Delta is broken,cheap plastic.The ones from McMaster Carr can be purchased in metal not plastic.Someday I will order a pair of higher quality,the only thing stopping me is overcoming the laziness to find out what thread size they are.

If not shipping to Canada is a problem,ship it here and I will then ship to you.

Go Wings!!

HI JIM,

You might keep in mind Industrial Supplies from Reid Supply. They have so many kinds and threads on their jillions of handles you can spend days looking through their stock. I had to buy several handles for my Jet 1236 and they probably can fit the mini also. You just need to know the thread count and the length.

My local woodcraft had several cam style options. Common parts, we just found the right thread that matched up to one of the jets on the floor and that was it.

Jim - If you cannot find an alternative or just want to order direct from Jet let me know. I will order it for you and send it to you.
