Jim, the foot is an 11mm, and to access/move it up or down you need a 6mm allen wrench. There is a hole at each corner of the E16 that allows you to access the top of the foot. Works quite slick,...

I sincerely hope that one isolated incident does indeed affect the opinion we as a community of woodworkers have on a company. A company is only as good as their last sale, because if they treated...
So true, David.
FYI, the seller, after updating his listing to include a rant that clearly showed that we were getting to him, ended the bidding early at $86.98.
What would be the correct way to go from one room to another with laminate flooring? (total of 3 rooms) One room has a 31" wide opening to the adjoining room, the next a 60" opening. All are on the...
Neal, sorry for the late reply, but I had to get some sleep last night. As
Nathan stated, I pretty much covered my trials blow by blow in past posts. If you dig around a little you will find others...
I am curious as to why you would care since you already own the lathe. If you read any of my posts regarding the 1442 and the WMH Tool Group you would know that I could have given you a real deal on...
(Posted this in the Turners forum, but I wanted as many members as possible to see this, and since there are at least 4 times the members viewing here at any time, hence the double post. This post...
Finally got my Jet 1442 headstock back from the machine shop. They sent it back in the same box that I sent it to them in, using the same packing materials. As the picture shows, the paint on the...
I too am interested in this thread because I am going through absolute heck with WMH Tool Group (JET) over a frozen faceplate on a lathe, and the breaking of fins on their pot metal pulley trying to...
How true, Ron. I am sure the professor had that in mind. I can't wait to hear his thoughts on the pricing of the pen once all the assignments are in.
Thanks Nancy, I'm sure she will appreciate the breakdown because those details look good on research papers. Yes, the "never run out of ink" thing is just a detail the professor put in to make the...
My wife is taking a marketing course at the community college, and she asked me to ask for your expert opinions on a marketing project involving the sale of up-scale pens. They are made of lyptus,...
I bought the lathe (along with 3 other machines, spent almost 5 grand!!!) from Southern Tool. I called them after talking to WMH Tool Group, and they (Southern) told me that they couldn't do...
Thanks for the heads up Christopher, as I am new to turning and that is EXACTLY the kind of advice I want and need. I don't frequent SMC to throw 2 worthless cents down any time I can, I come here...
Yes Bob, it came stuck and not only that, before I did ANYTHING I called Jet (WMH Tool Group) and went over their instructions, which are incorrect, because they say to loosen 2 set screws, which are...
Called WMH Tool Group today and explained to a tech the whole story: new machine, stuck faceplate, cheap wrench, won't budge, spray lube and use pipe wrench, broke teeth on pulley, lathe dead, now...
Thanks for all the advice, I am not a welder so that is not an option, and I think I will try to research the exact problem by removing the pulley cover. I have been curious as to how the headstock...
I purchased the lathe through Southern Tool, but I believe that they are just the middleman, because the lathe shipped from WMH tool group.
The local repair sounds like a good deal, but my area...
My 1442 headstock faceplate is STILL STUCK! I have tried soaking the threads, using a variety of wrenches, and still no luck. Tonight I put the biggest persuader I could find on the flats, pushed in...
Nathan, glad to hear you got your faceplate off, mine is still stuck. I just had carpal tunnel surgery to both hands so I can't lean in to it the way you did. Was that a push or a pull on the wrench?...
In the instructions it says that to take off the headstock faceplate you loosen two setscrews then screw off. Not seeing these setscrews I contacted Jet and after 20 minuts of research they said that...
Just getting started, never turned a pencil yet, settng up my 1442 and was wondering what the headstock indexing holes and indexing pin are for? The instructions say that the combination of holes...
Very nice Hunter. Let me tell you, designing your own chair is definitely the way to go on your first. I made the BIG mistake of buying a very expensive pattern, and ended up walking away from it...
I had a 350 (the cheap one) and I also believe that for the woodworker it is not versatile enough to justify the investment. I have several hex shank bits that go with a quick change system and it...
Hey Art, wait till the hockey games get going full tilt and the pucks start bouncing off the house! I had a 24' x 24' for a couple of years and man was it fun! You are right about the yard needing to...
