5.1 Location
It is strongly recommended that the machine be
secured to a bench or stand. The base has multiple
holes (some are accessed behind the side panel) to
accept fasteners for this purpose. Sect. 4.1 shows
the hole patterns.
An optional JET stand is available for this machine.
See sect. 10.0. Use the 4 holes in front of the motor
to secure to this stand.
5.2 Installing work rest
The work rest mounts to a channel on left side of
head casting. See Figure 5-2. Attach work rest with
adjustable handle. Slide work rest inward until it is
about 1/16 inch from front of contact wheel. Tighten
cap screw.
5.3 Installing dust hood
It is recommended that the dust hood be used, and
connected to a metal dust collection system by a 3-
inch diameter hose secured with a hose clamp (not
provided).
Assemble dust hood parts as shown in Figure 5-2.
Also, secure the rail below the stand using the 2
socket head screws with lock washers (A, Figure 5-
2). Slide the dust hood assembly onto the rail and
tighten with the knobs.
The dust hood can be positioned as needed below
the contact wheel.
