Twice i have seen posted on other sites, about Jet not having any customer service.
Is this true?

I have an old lathe which has no speed chart, nor documentation (nothing to identify it really). So I purchased a hand held IR tacho from eBay and used that to determine the speeds. I tested it on motors with known RPM and it was either spot on, or just a few RPM out. Certainly good enough for this use. It was $23.80 including shipping.

I've never had a problem dealing from Jet, but based on the prices, they are very proud of their replacement parts.

Bill, thanks for the link to the manual, looks like that is the same speed specs as posted by DaveH.
