Back in October someone posted here about a conversion (or change over) kit
to turn the JET 1014 mini into the JET 1014VS. The part number they gave
was #708351VSR. I was wondering if they, or anyone else here, have been
successful in actually obtaining this retrofit. The JET reps I have talked
to, and customer service at JET, tell me that this is not a valid part
number and that no such conversion exists. The customer service person at
JET said that if such a conversion existed she would not have her 1014 for
sale so that she can buy a 1014VS. If anyone has been successful in
obtaining this, maybe you could share with us your source, and how to
contact them, so that maybe I (OK, its Christmas, anybody else that is
interested can order too) could order the kit from them and have it shipped.
Thanks.

Greetings! I work for one of the biggest Jet Dealers in the Midwest. After
seeing the original post, I called our dealer support number and inquired as
to it's validity. Initially it was thought to be bogus information.
However, after pursuing it further, our customer service rep. found a
support bulletin that mentioned the upgrade. She also stated that (at least
at that time) there were some in stock in one of their warehouses. I don't
have any of the specifics regarding price or a customer support number to
call for ordering it, but that could probably be obtained from their
website - www.wmhtoolgroup.com

Hope this helps!

one more possiblity
I just picked up a Minarik MAC series VFD - this particualr drive is very
cool, not only will it run the usual 3 phase motor, it will also run a 220V
motor on 110v, and it will run single phase motors at variable speed
(although there are some restrictions, like no separate start winding). I
got mine surplus at a very attractive price, but you can check out the
series on the minarik website.
