    help with Jet mini?

    I turned on my Jet mini lathe the other day and the motor would run but not the belt. I loosened the bolt on the motor and pushed down which tightened the belt and got it to work, however, every time I turn it on now, I have to do the same thing. Anyone have any ideas?

    I'd call Jet. Tyey will probably send you a new belt.
    Meanwhile, try cleaning the belt real good.

      Sounds like it needs a new belt. Try posting over at www.penturners.org there are lots of Jet mini owners over there.

        I would check the pulleys and make sure they are clean and not slipping. I would also check the belt for wear. Next make sure your motor is staying locked in the position that you have set it in.

        Jet will send you a new belt with no issue. The contact info is;
