Powerful 3/4 HP Motor for Increased Capacity
Able to support stock measuring up to 12 inches in diameter and 20 inches in length, the JWL-1220 owes its robust performance to a powerful 3/4 HP motor that easily handles increased capacity without any interruption in its operation. The motor's flexibility allows you to tackle bigger projects or materials of various sizes without bogging down your lathe, and it also ensures consistent RPM through a much wider range of turning situations.

Cast-Iron Bed for Stability; Spindle Lock for Fast Fluting and Veining
A heavy-duty cast-iron lathe bed adds stability while dramatically limiting vibrations during operation so you enjoy precise results. Additionally, the spindle features a lock that makes it easier to remove faceplates, chucks, and other accessories with one hand. It also has indexing capabilities for fast and efficient fluting and veining operations.

Live Center and Hollow Tailstock for Efficient Boring
To help complete projects quickly and easily, and to tackle a range of jobs, the live center has a removable pin for boring through stock, while a hollow tailstock allows you to perform long hole boring for lamps and other vessels.

Cam-Lock Mechanism for Tool-Free Adjustments
Designed to be easy to operate, the JWL-1220 includes a cam-lock mechanism that gives you the freedom to adjust the headstock, tailstock, and tool-rest base without tools. There's also a built-in work light to illuminate your workspace as well as your workpiece while turning so you're able to see your results during every step of the work process.

Carry Handles and Cord Wrap for True Portability
Measuring 15.5 x 12 x 32 (WxHxD) and weighing 98.3 pounds, the truly portable JWL-1220 has integrated, large-diameter, retractable carry handles and a cord wrap for convenient storage of the six-foot power cord. It also comes with both six-inch and 10-inch tool-rests for versatility, a storage tray, and a three-inch faceplate.

For added peace of mind, the JWL-1220 is backed by a five-year warranty.

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.

5 out of 5 stars 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!

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.


4 out of 5 stars 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.

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!

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.
