Hey gang,
Over the summer of '21, I picked up one of those dinky 1-1/2hp Jet JWS-22CS shapers. Smaller than I'd normally prefer, but I got the thing for a song ($150, and it came with ~$400 worth of cutters... and they threw in around 2lbs of rust, free!). What it did NOT come with was the spindles or the 1/2" collet, just the 1/4".
"No worries," I thought. "I'll order the 1/2" from Jet and see how she goes."
I got her cleaned up and running smooth again by August - looks new if I do say so myself; my best resto to date. I placed the order for the collet - which was listed as a 90-day back order - Aug. 4. It's now 160 days later, and my order still reads as "pending". Moreover, they're not to be had on any of the parts sources, eBay - any of the usual suspects - for love or money.
Anyone know if any other mfg's are cross-compatible? Grizzly, maybe? It's almost inevitable it was stamped outta the same factory as XYZ. I just have no clue what XYZ IS in this case.
Any thoughts/advice?
