New Jet 1220 bearing problem

[paul ashman]

I posted a thread a week or so ago about my new Jet 1220 and a problem with the headstock and hand wheel heating up. I called Jet (great service people, Bobby was a big help) and though there was no noise or vibration they recommended new headstock bearings which they Fed-Ex'd to me (got them in 36 hours) and the issue seems to be solved. I was told that mine was the first service call for the new machine. I hope that was the only bug, but the service people at Jet made me feel confident that any future problems will be handled just as professionally.
