I purchased this older Jet 1024. It was well used, did not appear abused, and it came with some quality tooling. When i got home i decided it was worth a repaint. During the process i found a few issues that need to be addressed, the first being a worn out worm wheel gear for the autofeed. Still works, but clearly needs attention.
As with most of the older Asian equipment, finding info and parts are the challenge. Site archives have a few manuals available, but to get access i need 30 posts. So... as an offering i can share my experiences cleaning up this lathe. It will become apparent that I am new to machining, but excited to learn.
Here it is the way i found it. The seller had equipment to load, which avoided a big hurdle for me.
