Part search for a Jet JWL-1236

[Finn Posner]

I have an "older" model Jet 1236 and I need to replace the handle, spring and screw (which holds the handle on) for the mechanism that allows the headstock to rotate.

The part numbers are JWL 1236 24-2, 3, and 4.

I've tried several online sources but they all seem to mention the parts are no longer available.

Anybody have a source or a cross reference as I think Grizzly carried the same lathe a while back?

Thanks - Finn

It appears that you are looking for part numbers JWL 1236 24-1, 2, and 3 unless your model doesn't look like the picture below.




The handle assembly looks like an off the shelf item. Do you have the long rod that goes through the headstock?

I believe these are the -1 and -2. You can call Jet and verify.

I have the locking rod (24), but am missing the handle/lever (24-1), spring (24-2) and screw (24-3)

As I mentioned, I think that is an off the shelf part. I would guess that it has a metric threaded hole so here is a link to Adjustable position handles at McMaster-Carr.

Click on Handles and Levers and then scroll down to Adjustable Position Handles with Threaded Hole and then select the desired type of metric or inch handle that you want and then choose the thread size. They're not very expensive and there are all sorts of handles to choose from. The handle, spring, and screw are all one part.

Thanks Bill, I'll give that a try.
