Jet didn't offer a knee feed, but they had one for the similar Wilton (no longer sold) mill. The Jet/Wilton tech said it was a direct bolt on, so I ordered it, of course, it wasn't a direct bolt on. So I called the Jet/Wilton tech and explained the issues, his response was classic, "you own machine tools, make it fit", he then hung up. As I had no recourse, thats what I did, its worked great after I got it on and got the bugs worked out.

Jack, we have the same basic mill but mine wears an Enco badge. They didn't offer a knee feed for mine either, and when I called their techs I was told "it can't be done".

They obviously don't know about the determination of the people that make up this forum.
