Hi all,

I have a Jet 1442 lathe and I am considering purchasing a Jet Copy Lathe attachment, however I can't find a manual online as I was wondering what the minimum length piece of wood is I can copy on it. I see its max length is 1000mm but for what i'm doing at present, I'd like to use it to copy spindle of 9" long but can't see any pictures or anything of the jet copy lathe attachment turning anything smaller than what appears to be full length spindles.

I wondered if anyone on here has one of these and could advise or perhaps can point me in the direction of the manual?

Many thanks

Kev
 
If it's similar to the Jet 3520B lathe, the mounting centres attach to the headstock and tailstock so the length between copy centres will relate to the length of the workpiece held between the headstock and tailstock centres.
The attached excerpt from the 3520 manual should help.

Ah yes,completely different concept.
The website has facility for asking questions and even for requesting a copy of the manual so that would be the best way to be sure.
