While Sue was busy with the garden other than supervise I was slowly
digging out the Jet Mini VS lathe from its storage box. Dismantled all
the parts so a full re-spray could be done. It had been packed into a
Gal tool box back in March 2016 a light spray of WD40 wrapped in rags
for protection during the move. It was bought in 2006 so had seen a lot
of work and was looking rather untidy, no amount of cleaning would
remove finish stains without removing some of what I believe to have
been lead based paint. Every time no matter what as used it would come
up with a grey residue.
Bearings and belt were still good so were re-used.
I have yet to contact Jet Australia for new Decals.
Were you able to get replacement decals or stickers? What paint did you use? Any tips for painting? My jet is looking about the same and I would like to repaint as well. Thanks for any information you have to share!
