    Jet 1642 question

    I own a Jet 1642 lathe and have started to get chatter while turning a large 12” bowl. The bearings probably need to be changed along with the belt. How hard is it to change the bearings (I have watched a couple of videos and they have made it appear easy). Do I need to spend the big bucks...
