I'm getting a real complex! First the Delta slow grinder (3 replacements; the last is working great), then replace the Reeves drive in the General, then replace the belts in the General, then re-replace the whole reeves pulley, shaft and speed handle in the General, now I just bought a Jet Mini and the #*$@!* (that stands for sweet) motor won't raise to change speeds! After I get this squared away, IF there is one more machine problem, I'm taking up knitting!
I loosen the little bolt thing right in front under the ways and lift the handle with white plastic on it and nothing happens. Looking at the action, I see the motor is up against the ways and has, maybe 1/16" movement. Can I move the motor? Please don't tell me to take it back to Woodcraft; it's a 3 1/2 hr. drive and all I want to do is peacefully turn in my beautiful shop!
I think this is the straw just before the "last" one!
