A few forum members are now starting to have problems with the Jet JTS 260 planer thicknesser when used in thicknesser mode once the 'newness' of the machine as worn off
The problem is that under some conditions, the table can slowly work downwards so that a batch of timber instead of being thicknessed all to the same dimension varies from start to finish and theoretically from end to end of an individual piece.
I have designed a kit that can be easily retrofitted to this machine and the forum moderators have agreed that I can advertise and sell this kit through UKW as it is a fix for a specific problem.
Wizer has evaluated the kit and taken some pictures.
This is the basic machine with the table lock fitted
and in this photo the lock fitted in combination with the digital readout supplied by Jet. This requires a shaft extension which I can supply if needed.
Wizer has written up his findings during the evaluation of the prototype here

Ideally I would like to manufacture the kits in a single batch to keep the price down as low as possible.
I estimate the price to be in the range £30 - £40 plus postage.
If you would be definitely interested in buying a kit please PM me with your contact details including a direct email address.
Please specify if you have the standard dial or the digital readout type machine. The shaft extenders will be an extra £6 on top of the basic kit.
