Adjusting Clamping Mechanism 

 
The clamps are pre-set at the factory and should 
not need any adjustment.  However, if 
adjustment is needed remove the stud (A, Fig. 
23).  Loosen the locking handle and slide the 
headstock, tailstock or tool rest to the edge of 
the bed and slightly turn the hex nut (B, Fig. 23).   
Slide back into position and test the handle to 
make sure it securely locks.     
 

Changing the Belt and Bearings 

 
Changing belt and bearings can be a difficult 
task, and should be performed by a JET 
authorized repair station.  Remove headstock 
and take into a repair station for servicing.   
 
1.  Place the belt in its highest speed range.  

Do not change speeds while changing the 
belt or bearings.     

 
2.  Remove the belt cover, and remove the belt 

from the lower pulley, see Figure 24. 

 
3.  Loosen two set screws in the handwheel 

enough to unthread handwheel (C, Fig. 24). 

 
4.  Loosen socket head cap screw enough to 

unthread the clamping nut (D, Fig. 24). 

 
5.  Remove one e-ring (E, Fig. 24) from spindle. 
 
6.  Loosen two set screws in the right hand 

pulley (F, Fig. 24).     

 
7.  Use a wood dowel, or aluminum stock to 

knock spindle towards the tailstock.  Use a 
material that is softer than the spindle so 
you do not mushroom end of spindle.
  Go 
only far enough to remove right hand pulley 
and belt from spindle, see Figure 25 when 
changing the belt.    Note:    Mark key way on 
the pulley for easy reference when 
reassembling.   

 
8.  Now you can replace the belt or bearings.  

There are three bearings #6, 9 and 43 that 
can be seen in the “Headstock Assembly,” 
page 24.   

 
9. To reassemble reverse the procedure. 

 

Note:  Key way alignment is critical for 
installment and proper operation.  Do not 
force the pulley.  When reinstalling 
clamping nut thread it on to the spindle until 

its snug.  Then back off slightly and tighten 
the socket head cap screw.
