I have a Jet 1236 that I want to mod so I can get a lower - low speed. I searched here and cant seem to find what I am looking for. I remember reading somewhere that somebody drilled a new detent, and this allowed a slower low speed. If you pull down on the speed lever, below "slow", you can get a much slower speed, but then the lever, through vibration, raises back to the lowest detent and you are back at 550 or 650 rpm or whatever the slowest factory speed is. I know the lathe is capable of this speed because, like I said, you can make it run slower manually, but I would like a solution to this idea... any thoughts? If you can point me in the direction of a thread on this, or have made this mod to your 1236 or a similar lathe, I would really like some detailed info on what this will involve. Thanks.
