Re: JET 1220vs switch
I had the same problem with my 1220vs, it happened not long after I got the lathe. I called the Rockler outlet where I purchased it and the guy there worked with me and the techs at JET (WFM Tool Group) and I had a new switch in no time. According to the tech, JET had a number of these switches failing (not shutting off), whether a bad batch or an under rated switch for the vs system and motor configuration, who knows.
Point is get a hold of JET or the place you bought it. They will in all likelihood send you a new switch ASAP.
Good Luck
