jet spares

[woodwoodjohn]

is there anywhere in England were can you buy jet spare parts apart from axminster tools

 

[marcros]

i don't think so. you may be able to find somebody willing to order them for you, but they will just order from axminster.

Could drop Jetman an e-mail to see if he knows of a source of what you want.

I think Axi/Brimarc are the UK agents for Jet so everything goes back through them.

What's the problem with Axminster?

In a similar vein...

I bought a second hand Jet JWP-12 Benchtop Thicknesser a few weeks back. All was well and good until suddenly it stopped working. It's getting power (there is a faint buzz as I switch it on/off as the switch goes past the 1/2 way point). I've pressed the reset switch and nothing doing. The last thing I did before it went ker-flooey was planing a slice of fir (end-grain).

Any ideas guys? If not, does anyone know anywhere in central Scotland to get it looked at?

i know nothing about electrical things, but I would hazard a guess that somebody will mention a start capacitor before too much longer...

Bench top Thicknessers in the main have universal motors so no run/start capacitors involved.

Sounds to me like something is jammed, surprised the input fuse has not blown though if that's the case.

I would suspect brushes. The faint buzzing will be the NVR coil never normally heard over the noise of the main motor.
