Morning all,
I've just picked up a 1992 Jet lathe because:
1/ I've long wanted to try turning, and
2/ I couldn't say no to the price.
A mate up the road will fix me up with the how to of actual turning so I'm set.
Except ... I don't know anything about lathes in general or this lathe specificly, so I want to know if anyone has a manual for a lathe similar to this one.
It is a Jet made in 1992, there is no model designation, it has variable speed marked "Slow, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Fast", you can swivel the motor (to turn outboard I think it is called), the thread on the motor is 1/10.
