About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service. What's in the Box Lathe, one six-inch tool-rest, one10-inch tool-rest, one faceplate, one drift rod, one live center, one spur center, one pair of safety goggles, one tool caddy, one work lamp, one owner's manual, warranty card, one three-millimeter hex wrench, and one five-millimeter hex wrench.

Amaizing product!!! June 26, 2010 Radoslav Paskalev For home use on any kind of projects, this lathe is all you need! It is powerfull, portable, very quiet, and has very, very simple design with no extra "gizmos" that usualy make more problems than actually help. If I use this lathe for atleast 5-6 years and than breake it , I will buy the same lathe over again! The price is the best available on the market and "free shipping" on a 100 pounds product... Can`t beat that!
The lathe has doing it`s job perfect! It is heavy, very stable and quiet! I don`t have a lot of room in my garrage and I also don`t wont to make a mess inside so I use the lathe on top of my table saw in my back yard. I just build a nice laminate top, that I set on top of the saw and than set the lathe. It works great and I love it! The only thing Jet should improve is the way of changing speeds. Or atleast make it a little bit more comfortable. I don`t mind opening both doors to move the belt but it`s little aggravating. And at the same time I don`t think I would want the varieble speed lathe because all additional electronics will make the product more breakable.
Overall it is a great tool for woodworking. I am building a woodwind instruments and I use a lot the boring -thru technique. This is possible , using the 3/8 opening on the talestock and head stock. I usualy drill a 3-8 pilot hole , while the late is running on the lowest speed. Then I expand the opening to the exact size hole I need.
So, I recommend this lathe for making peper mills , lamps etc.
Thanks Amazon for the great product!
Jet 1220 Wood Lathe May 20, 2010 A. Lanseigne I upgraded to the Jet 1220 and am very happy I did. It arrived on the exact scheduled delivery day and the package didn't have any damage. Once I opened it up the box I was turning a bowl within 15 minutes. Would recommend this lathe to everyone.
Great Lathe! March 14, 2010 Daniel A. Davis (Phoenix, Arizona USA) Great Lathe. Nice size for bowls and small projects. Limited on length but has bed extention available. Live center could be better. Would like one with a smaller longer point.
Overall, a very nice lathe for the home hobbiest.
Jet 12inch x 20-inch Wood Lathe March 5, 2010 Timothy A. Vanderlaan (Goldsboro, NC) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is my first lathe, I researched many other lathes and felt this would be the best value for my money. could have spent $200 less on other lathes but felt I would be sacrificing quality and would have slightly less capability. I have now turned about 10 pens and a few bowls and love this machine. Its quiet and smooth and when spindle speed needs to be changed its a breeze! Ive had the opportunity to look at a few other lathes that are comparable now and can see that the Jet lathe is worth the extra $. I opted not to pay the extra $100 for a variable speed model and dont regret it, nice feature but not a must have. A few items i bought with the lathe are a 4 jaw chuch (MUST HAVE) and a drill chuck (again MUST HAVE) and dont go cheap on the Chisels. Overall a great machine thats easy to use, you cant go wrong with a Jet!
Jet 1220 lathe October 8, 2009 C. Sailer 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
My husband and I are new to turning. We purchased the Jet 1220 lathe and are very happy with its performance. The only thing we would like to see change is where the light is positioned on the machine. I was very impressed with delivery I was promised within two weeks and had it in less then one week.
