This lathe is capable of turning a 16" diameter bowl or spindles up to 42" long. It has 2 speed ranges providing high torque for large bowls - 50 - 1200 rpm and a lower torque range of 120 - 3200 rpm for smaller work. A belt shift selects the range. The digital readout shows the actual rpm. The electronic variable speed provides accurate control.
The headstock is movable and can be positioned anywhere along the bed. This is helpful when turning bowls with the headstock toward the right side enabling you to stand at the end of the lathe and face the work.
I have turned a number of bowls from fresh wood (hence discoloration on wall and white paint) without taxing the motor. I have also turned delicate finials and small items.
The lathe is equipped with a drive center, live tailstock center, knockout bar, faceplate and 12" tool rest.
Jet had replaced this lathe in their catalog with the JWL-1640EVS which is essentially the same lathe with a 2" shorter bed. I was told this was to meet a size restriction for shipping to avoid oversize rates. The new model is currently selling for $3000. I am asking half that amount - $1500.
I also have a collection of turning tools and accessories that I will be selling alongside the machine.
