I have the 2 hp version of the Jet 1642. I have for a long time wondered if my motor was getting too hot when in use. After about an hour of vigorous turning it becomes very warm to the touch. I finally measured the heat with an infrared temperature gun and it read about 120 degrees. Just wondered if this is normal or do I have a problem. Been like this for a long time and it runs fine just wondered if this is common. It is still under warranty so now would be the time to get it fixed if this is a problem.
