I picked up a jet 12x40 bench lathe today. It was manufactured in 1983.
It appears to be in fairly good shape however the chuck and backing plate is
missing on this lathe. It did come with turning plate. My problem is that I
have an 8" chuck and backing plate with a 2 1/4"x8 mounting hole but it
doesn't go on the jet. It appears the jet is a 2 3/8" hole but it is an 8
thread where as all the backing plates I've been able to locate in 2 3/8ths"
are a 6 thread. Is there anyone on this forum who has had any experience
with these backing plates or have any idea where to acquire one?
Thanks,
Dick
