Hi Group, I just purchased a Jet JWL-1236 lathe and if someone out
there has one of these lathes I have a question. Can someome tell me
what each indexing stop represents in inches? I have the instuction
manual but it doesn't say anything about it. My old lathe didn't have
stops on it so its kind of a new thing to me. Thanks, Jim


Are you talking about the hole in the live end that locks the shaft at
different intervals?

Think degrees, not inches. The amount the perimeter surface of the work
travels between each indexing stop is going to be different depending on
the radius of the piece.
