User questions & answers

Question:	Will 1221 tail stock accept #2 Morse taper drill chuck
Answer:	Yes! Just be sure that the tail stock hole and morse taper are clean, otherwise the #2 morse taper can be difficult to remove...
Question:	has this lathe have a indexing head
Answer:	William, yes this lathe has an indexing head. I have not yet used the feature but it is done with a spring loaded pin which you lock into anyone of 24 positions. The spring loaded pin in screwed in once the pin is set to hold it in place.Rich F
Question:	Is this Ron Swanson approved
Answer:	Yes, Ron personally blesses each unit as it’s loaded onto a truck.
Question:	Do you need to move a belt to change speeds? Or is there a dial or switch
Answer:	This lathe has a variable speed controller, so the speeds may be changed using the simple rotating knob. To provide speed ranges to suit any situation, especially for the more experienced turner, there is a three step pulley. This arrangement allows the variable speed controller to adjust speeds from 60 to 900 rpm on the low step of the pulley, 110 -1800 rpm on the 2nd step (medium), and a high speed range of 220 -3600 rpm on the the 3rd step. The belt need only be changed if you want to move to a different range of speeds. This is a very simple process.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you add an extendion table on it to turn long spindel legs
Answer:	Yes! You just can't buy it on amazon..rockler and woodcraft sell them for around $150.
Question:	Is it a Morse taper
Answer:	Yes both the head stock and tail are #2
Question:	what is needed with this lathe for pen turning
Answer:	Basically, you will need a 7mm MT2 mandrel and your tools. When you order your pen kits, make sure you get the bushings and drill bit. Depending on how you finish the pens, you may need a buffing system. For acrylics, get a set of micro pads, they really bring the shine out. I also use a "french polish" and shellac to put a lasting hard coat on the finished product. Good luck and enjoy the lathe.
Question:	what is the thread size on the head stock
Answer:	Headstock Spindle Thread is 1" x 8 TPI.Complete data sheet is here:http://content.jettools.com/assets/manuals/719100_man_EN.pdf

User questions & answers

Question:	If these are stainless steel like advertised then why are they coated in oil put in a plastic sealed bag and shipped 1/2 way around the world
Answer:	I can't comment on why shipping stainless steel is such a perceived issue to you, but even if the calipers are stainless steel, the springs are not. I would venture to guess that is the main reason they are oiled.
Question:	can you lock in the measurement with these
Answer:	That is what the nut on the screw is for. It doesn't really lock, if you were to rub the nut on something it could move, and it can spring inward it you push into a hole.
Question:	stainless steel? NOT
Answer:	I have no means to test chromium content of this metal, but by 2 factors, I would venture to say that they ARE stainless steel. 1. They have been in my shop thru summer rain and heat, it is now February the 1st and there are still no visible signs of rust which would certainly be present on carbon steel materials under these storage conditions. 2. By all appearances (visually) they are comparable to any other stainless steel items I have used throughout my 45 years of woodworking. I would admit that, also visually, they may have a lower chromium content in their alloy than a comparably sized more expensive set, but they do the job I purchased them for at price much less than is really needed for my processes. Certainly, a $500 set would be nice, but then I'd have to jack my prices up, or sell 10 times more product to compensate, when these work just fine.
Question:	It's nice to know how long they are, and if I measured the pic..., but the maximum measurement is a more useful number. How wide does each get
Answer:	When it comes to calipers, digital or manual the number ie; 8", 6" etc. represents the opening of the caliper. This set of calipers all open little more than.

User questions & answers

Question:	I need an adapter with a 3/4-16 id thd and 1-8 od thd does nova made one to fit the g3 chuck bundle
Answer:	I am not that familiar with the full Nova line of products. Have you tried to Google it? Those are fairly common sizes so you might find one. Good luck!
Question:	I have an old craftsman 12" , 103 model. its a 3/4" 16tpi. is there an adapter available that would work with this set
Answer:	Check with at woodworkers parts house. I have seen adapters for the smaller 3/4 inch shafts
Question:	What is the thread size of this chuck
Answer:	The 30th anniversary G3 is a dedicated 1” 8tpi chuck, same as the spindle on my delta 46-460 lathe. It doesn’t not accept the normal Nova threaded inserts since it is a dedicated type rather than insert type. Should also work on the harbor freight lathes as well as any o ther with a 1” 8tpi spindle. It also have a grub screw for lathes with reverse
Question:	Will this work on the Jet mine and Jet mid Lathes
Answer:	I have a Jet 1221VS and it works just fine. Be sure to check the TPI of the lathe headstock. The TPI of your chuck should match. Also check the length of the headstock and the chuck are the same. Although these are not officially standard, they are frequently the same from one device to another. Long story short the... The Nova G3 works just fine on the Jet 1221VS.
