I haven't read all this thread(lazy??). Obviously ( to me) the design, engineering, machine tooling, what have you, has all been done by jet. Why not call the factory, and say hey produce
a few hundred or thousand extra whachamacallits, and float them as a trial upgrade for all our happy owners of the Jet 1100. Think of it as an auto TSB or recall, and make the part kit available to jet customers , or not .....just thinking outloud, plus mabye I could retro fit it to my Delta 50-580 if it had good reviews.
