JET 708359 JWL 16"x 42" EVS PRO 1-1/2HP Wood Lathe NEW
JET JWL-1642EVS, 16" x 42" EVS PRO Wood Lathe, 1-1/2HP
Take the awesome turning capacity of a 16-inch swing and 42 inches between centers, mount a 1-1/2 hp motor on it, and youve got a lathe thats as close to perfection as weve seen. Its as well suited to candlesticks as it is to table legs and bowls, and its features are truly user-friendly. Any speed you like from 50 to 3,200 rpm is at your fingertips, tracked precisely by a digital readout. Convenient cam lock levers let you move the headstock, 14-inch tool rest and tailstock without any tools, something so cool we think other makers should emulate it. We also like the built-in spindle lock for quick and easy chuck and faceplate removal. And heres something else we found invaluable: You can positive-index the spindle every 10 degrees to make fluting and veining operations a breeze. The whole machine is impressively stable, as its bed and legs are made of cast iron and it weighs it at more than 400 pounds, and we felt no vibration whatsoever, even at the highest speed. The legs are built to accept 2-by-4s in case you want to add a storage shelf, but theres already a handy tool basket included. Its a beautiful lathe, a pleasure to use, and we think you cant go wrong with it whether youre an experienced turner or contemplating your first pen.
