8. Begin with fine sandpaper 120 grit and progress through each grit using only light pressure Coarser sandpaper tends to leave deep scratches that are hard to eliminate Use power sanding techniques to avoid concentric sanding marks around your finished piece Avoid rounding over the rim and foot with sandpaper Try to keep details crisp Finish sanding with 220 grit Remove the sanding dust with tack rags or compressed air and with the lathe turned off apply the first coat of finish Let it stand for several minutes then wipe off the excess Allow it to dry before sanding again with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper Turn lathe back on and make a separation cut through the base Stop at about 3 and use a small fine tooth saw to separate the bowl from the waste Apply additional finish coats and allow them to dry before buffing WORKPIECE Adjusting the Clamping Mechanism The clamps are pre set at the factory and should not need any adjustment However if adjustment is needed remove the stud A Fig 24 Loosen the locking handle and slide the headstock tailstock or tool rest to the edge of the bed and slightly turn the hex nut B Fig 24 Slide back into position and test the handle to make sure it securely locks Changing the Belt and Bearings Changing the belt and bearings can be a difficult task and should be performed by a JET authorized repair station Remove the headstock and take it into a repair sta
