Robert Sorbey Modular tool rest does not fit Jet 1442 all that well
I purchased a jet 1442 earlier this year. While turning some knobs I
discovered that the headstock casting kind of gets in the way if bringing the 12" stock tool rest up really close. This geometery is only a problem for narrow & short turning between centers. So I decided to pick up short tool rest. I ordered the post and a 4" bar from Lee Valley http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...330,49238&ap=1 Upon installation, I found that the post is a bit too long. It contacts the banjo's locking bar mechanism before the bar gets below the axis of the lathe. A shorter post is not available. Should I: 1. Send is back and buy an entirely different product? If so What is a better choice? 2. load up a metal-cutting blade in the recipricating saw and lop it off 3. Other? Thanks, Steve |
