In its standard form, (left) the JWL-1220 is a very capable lathe. Add the bed (and
of user-
stand) extension (left) and its between centers capacity rivals that of many "full-sized"
friendly
features, the
JET JWL-1220 more than fills the void between traditional mini and full-sized lathes.
Add the JWL-1220BE 28" bed extension and the JET JWL-1220 between centers
capacity expands to nearly 50", rivaling that of much larger and substantially more
expensive woodturning lathes.
The JET JWL-1220 is based on the tried and true JET cast iron technology for maximum
accuracy, durability and long term stability. Precisely machined components and high-
end ball bearings are used throughout the JET JWL-1220, insuring long-term accuracy
and smooth running stability.
The motor is mounted below the bed

Power and Speed
The JET JWL-1220 features a 3/4HP TEFC (totally
enclosed fan cooled) motor (115V only) that handles
the increased capacities with ease. The additional
power also maintains consistent rpm through a much
wider range of turning situations.
