What to do if my Jesco PRINCE has wrong rotation?
If your Jesco Lathe has the wrong rotation, it's likely due to the wrong sequence of phases. Reverse any two leads connecting for the motor to correct this.
What to do if my Jesco PRINCE motor is overheating?
If your Jesco Lathe motor is overheating, consider these potential causes: Excess belt tension (adjust the belt tension). A cooling fan failure (check the fan for proper operation). A badly worn bearing (replace the bearing). Short grease in bearing (replenish grease). Overload (reduce cutting speed or feed rate). Incorrect speed range running continuously (change the speed range and adjust the speed select knob).
Why is my Jesco PRINCE leaking oil?
Oil leakage in your Jesco Lathe could be due to several reasons: The plug of the drain isn't tight (reseal and tighten it). The case is cracking (it needs to be repaired by special welding). There's leakage from the overflow (tighten the cover screws). The packing or gasket is damaged (replace the packing or gasket). Or there's leakage from the overflow on the spindle bearing housing (reduce oil flow to the bearing or enlarge oil return flow).
Why is my Jesco Lathe coolant pump failing?
A failing coolant pump on your Jesco Lathe could be due to several reasons: Wrong rotation (reverse any two leads to the pump). Not enough coolant or a return filter obstructed (replenish coolant or clean the return filter in the chip tray). Overload relay off (reset the overload relay).
What to do if my Jesco PRINCE Lathe fails to start?
If your Jesco Lathe fails to start, check the following: The circuit might not be complete (check the switch, leads, fuse, etc., and replace or reconnect properly). The power may be off (check the cable connection). The overload relay may be off (reset the overload relay).
Why is my Jesco Lathe motor noisy and vibrating?
If your Jesco Lathe's motor is noisy and vibrating, consider the following potential causes: The motor is loosely mounted (tighten the mounting bolts). The mounting frame is strained (stiffen the mounting place or add shims under the foot pad). The motor shaft is bent or sprung (straighten or replace it). The foundation is inadequate or the motor feet are uneven (shim the motor feet for equal mounting).
Why is my Jesco PRINCE making excess noise or vibration?
Excess noise or vibration in your Jesco Lathe can stem from several issues. It could be due to a badly worn bearing (requiring replacement), lost leveling (necessitating a recheck and tightening), or worn V-belts (which should be replaced). Other potential causes include loose belt tension (adjust it), a worn gear (replace it), a bent or sprung shaft (straighten or replace it), or a loosened pulley (tighten the set screw). Also, check if the workpiece clamp is loose (tighten it), the bearing thrust is too loose (tighten the end thrust nut), the headstock isn't tight on the bed (tighten the fixed screws), there's excess clearance between the carriage and bed (adjust the gib and tighten the back clamp), or there's excess clearance in the cross or compound slide (adjust the taper gib).

What causes a fail lubricant on slide way of my Jesco PRINCE Lathe?
Failure of lubricant on the slide way of your Jesco Lathe is caused by oilers obstructed by dirty or damaged. Replace the oilers.
What causes misalignment of chuck with spindle nose on my Jesco PRINCE Lathe?
Misalignment of the chuck with the spindle nose on your Jesco Lathe is caused by incorrect position of cam. Adjust the cam and lock it in proper position.
What to do if my Jesco Lathe is showing failure on power feeding?
If you're experiencing failure on power feeding with your Jesco Lathe, here are a few things to check: The half-nut lever not disengage at all (disengage half-nut lever exactly). Feeds change lever incorrect positioning (push-in or pull-out the lever exactly). The safety latch and interlock pin failure (replace the safety latch or interlock pin).
