I still have the ramps and everything just for that reason, it'll go up just as easy.:cool:
 
Mine was under warantee. So they sent me a new shaft and bearings.
They didn't even ask for proof of receipt...wink wink...

Yeah, I'm out of warranty, plus Jet was really good about parts when it was under warranty. I use the ever lovin' heck out of it so 20.00 worth of bearings isn't a big deal. I'll be up and running tomorrow morning after the bearing house opens and I can pick up a pair. I may have them do a little diffing and see is I can find a set of taper bearings instead of ball bearings that'll fit it. with the side load form running a mandrel or between centers that might be a better option and it'd be cheap to try out. Would just need to figure out grease seals for the inside
 
Cleaned/organized. Setup new lathe (actually last weekend) and finished a few cheese boards for some family gifts. I need to take more pics of my turnings!

I tried to rip my arm off with the buffer today. Couldn't even do that right, all I managed to do was launch a piece of product against the wall :sarcastic:
 
These...technically it's the dining room table, not the shop!

I love this time of year :wacko:

and NO...I don't do the bows!

Maintenance..... ugh. The tilt on my table saw was turning really hard, to the point where I had to use both hands, hard on my arthritic shoulders reaching under there, I tried all the easy stuff, blowing it out, spraying lube on the worm gears, did not help. So I had to to take the top off to see what was going on, kind of a bummer since I had everything tweaked and aligned nicely. Gave it a through cleaning, loosened the pressure between the worm gears a bit, and lubed it up good with white lithium grease (recommended by the manufacturer) turns slick as a whistle now, glad I did it, been putting it off for a long time...

Sanded and sanded... then got to oil so at least something was worthwhile today! I hate sanding...

Just might actually make deadline on these two which surprises me how much screwing around I been doing...:lol2:
