JET 16" x 40" Electronic Wood Lathe (JWL-1640EVS)
Are you looking for a lathe that can handle larger workpieces while maintaining control at low and high speeds?
What if your shop had a lathe that delivered smooth speed changes, stable support, and easier positioning for a wide range of turning work?
Meet the JET JWL-1640EVS Wood Lathe, a cast iron lathe built for consistent performance and flexible setups.
With electronic variable speed from 40 to 3200 RPM, a sliding headstock, and a 1-1/2 HP motor, it provides control across roughing, shaping, and finishing.
When your lathe runs smoothly and holds adjustments, your cuts stay consistent from start to final pass.
JET JWL-1640EVS Electronic Wood Lathe
Electronic Variable Speed for Precise Control
The electronic variable speed system adjusts from 40 to 3200 RPM, allowing controlled starts for large blanks and higher speeds for finishing work. The digital readout keeps speed settings clear and repeatable.
Sliding Headstock Supports Flexible Turning Positions
The headstock slides along the bed to improve access and positioning for different turning applications. This helps when working on larger bowls or repositioning for better tool control.
Cast Iron Construction Reduces Vibration
The heavy cast iron bed provides stability during turning. This helps reduce vibration and improves surface finish, especially on larger or unbalanced pieces.
Improved Tailstock and Spindle Design
The tailstock includes Acme threads and an anti-rotation key for smoother movement and secure locking. The extended spindle nose and dual bearings support consistent rotation under load.
Secure Tool Rest and Banjo System
The banjo uses a positive locking wedge system to hold the tool post firmly without marring the surface. The locking mechanism is designed for consistent holding strength over time.
Built-In Indexing and Operator Features
With 36 indexing positions and a spindle lock latch, the lathe supports detailed work and safer adjustments. The enclosed inverter adds protection and durability in shop environments.
