Hi Guys,

Last weekend I picked up a Jet 1236PS for $120! It's in great condition, the spindle is tight with almost no measurable play on the dial indicator, the ways don't appear to have any damage or wear and everything works fine. It doesn't have a chuck or any back plates, but no big deal, it's a later version after they change the spindle thread to 2-1/4" x 8tpi (the earlier builds were 60mm x 8tip).

The problem is that it's missing the cross slide and everything that bolts to it... Somewhat hard to use without that...

I've contacted Jet and they don't have any parts for this lathe anymore. It appears to be the same as the Grizzly G9249, but the cross slide is no longer available. I can get the complete compound rest though.

Would it make sense to just buy the compound rest from Grizzly and then machine a cross slide from scratch? Unfortunately I don't have a milling machine yet, so I'd need some help.

What would you guys suggest?

Good morning, do you still have this lathe? I have one just like yours, mine is a 1986 model. All of my placards are faded so bad that I cant make out enough to have new ones made, if you still have this lathe would you be willing to take pics of all the placards for me?

Hi Sdunt, thanks for the reply. After looking around on the Grizzly website, it looks like the G4003 lathe is very similar. I'll start a thread over in the Grizzly forum and see if anyone who owns one can take a few measurements of the dovetail to compare to my lathe. Even if it's close and needs some modification, it'll be easier then starting fresh.
