Hi everyone,
It's been a long time since this topic came up, but my Jet 1236 is experinecing two problems I want to solve, and this thread is definitely related to the original thread:
http://www.penturners.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14648&whichpage=1
When I try to move to the fastest speed, the handle will not lock in place - or click at all. Thus, when you are on that speed, the handle vibrates back down to the next position. I'm going to remove covers and begin cleaning, lubricating as per this thread, but I wanted to check here first to see if anyone else has had this particular issue.
Second problem is probably related to the first - the handle is a little resistant to move - but not catching - just slow/stiff.
Wondering Dario - is this why you sold your Jet 1235 and upgraded?
BTW - purchased a new Jet Mini VS - as a second lathe. Really need two - and I'm looking forward to putting it together today.
Best,
Roger Garrett
