Well if some of you read my earlier post you knew I was having some troubles ( everything that is threaded on the spindle wobbles however the spindle itself reads true with a dial caliper) with the new 1642. I have been in contact with WMH tool group (they own Jet) and so has the dealer where I bought it. Believe it or not the only thing they have told me so far is that I need to use a nylon washer between my chuck and the spindle to make sure the chuck is completely bottomed out against the spindle shoulder. They are sending me some of these "magical" washers however I can assure you my chuck is more than bottomed out already. The length of my chuck adapter is long enough that when I thread it on without the chuck there is like a good 1/8" or so sticking out from the end. I also made sure the chuck was bottomed out on the chuck adapter too. If it wasnt bottomed out I might have hope in the so called "magical" washer but Im left feeling like this is BS myself. What possible difference could a nylon washer between the chuck and the spindle make? Anyone have any ideas? Im afraid that a replacement or return is on order here since this thing is just not right and hasnt been since I got it. *sigh*
I realized this lacked alot of information if you hadnt read my previous post on this so heres a link to the original post I made on this to bring you current.
