need a face plate for a jet lathe --help
« on: November 20, 2014, 03:16:13 PM »
Gents and Ladies, I have just got myself a used jet 1236 lathe, disabled so on a tight buget  :'(

I have found it to be a great improvement on my woodmen kl800 that i had before. but it is missing the face plate. spindle nose is 1"x8TPI
Does anyone have a spare or old one they wish to sell ?? or where near to me could I buy one at a reasonable price new
I am on the Northants/Bucks border and am happy to pick if that is better for you
many thanks
Graham

Hi Graham,
                 What size is the spindle thread people will need to know that I am sure some one will be able to help.

I might have one somewhere in my workshop. I am bunged up with shows until Monday so if no-one gets back before then remind me and I'll check it for you. If it is the right spindle size you can have it for P+P.
