Default OK, this is jusr stupid!

My Jet mini lathe needs a new motor.

The motor is between (i checked a few web sites) between $197.00 and $238.00 plus shipping.

I went to Harbor Freight and purchased a new mini lathe.
It is absolutely identical to my Jet mini lathe and came to$186.00 including sales tax...so out the door.

By the way...Harbor Freight does not have the motor available separately.

Sorry, I just had to vent this stupidity.

I'm sure I can eventually find a motor that will fit.

If anybody has a line on a motor with these specs;

110 volt
0.58" shaft (15mm)
1/2 HP or higher
About 8" overall length

Let me know.

I'd hate to just throw it away.
