I've been turning on a Jet mini the past few years and finally decided to take plunge and do some real turning on a 3520b. Was delivered a week ago, I took it out of the box yesterday, got it all set up and cleaned up. My problem is with the tailstock. When I crank the tailstock handwheel the quill just rotates, no movement in or out. I plan on calling them today but hate waiting for a new one, or worse yet....them telling me to take it to a repair center (which I shouldn't have to do). Any thoughts on what I need to do or what might be sticking which I can fix myself? The electrician is coming tonight so I was hoping to try it out this weekend.
Thanks to all.
