How is the lever mounted on the shaft? Can you reinstall it
at a different angle?


No, it has a detent setup that makes turning it around impossible.

Actually the whole apparatus, including the detent plate, can be turned
upside down, making the arc of the lever downward rather than upward. Not
sure I'd recommend that, however, as it would be cumbersome to use. But it
would get the handle out of the way.

On looking at pictures of this lathe on the net, One listed
by a site in England shows the handle pointing to the left,
ones on US sites seem to show it pointing to the right. My
Delta only turns about 50 degrees, but have never seen a Jet
in person so not sure about it. The detent and lever can be
rotated 180 degrees on mine also, but it would be sticking
to the right.
