The JET JWL-1642EVS & JWL-1642EVS-2 Wood Lathes
have been designed and built to bring the accuracy,
capability, durability and value you want in woodworking
machinery. They strike a perfect balance of versatility,
cutting edge technology and performance. That means the
JET JWL-1642EVS & JWL-1642EVS-2 Wood Lathes, with
their 16" swing over the bed and 42" capacity between

allows us to provide an industry-leading 5-year warranty
Both the JET JWL-1642EVS & JWL-1642EVS-2 Wood
Lathes are based on heavy-duty iron castings. Precision
machining prepares the high-quality raw castings to insure long-term accuracy and
smooth operation. The generous ways on the bed are precisely ground to be certain they
are flat and smooth and remain that way.
Even the leg sets with their widely spaced feet are one piece iron
castings. Making the leg sets from cast iron contributes to the
vibration absorbing 440-lb weight of the JET JWL-1642EVS &
JWL-1642EVS-2 Wood Lathes. Adjustable heavy-duty pads at
each foot insure a solid stance on uneven surfaces. With these

The JET JWL-1642EVS & JWL-1642EVS-2 headstock is also made from a massive iron
casting that insures rigid support for the motor and the high-strength spindle. After
machining, the headstock is fitted with large diameter, high-quality ball bearings that
support the precision machined spindle.
The JET JWL-1642EVS & JWL-

Summary of Contents for Jet JWL-1642EVS
- Page 1 Headstock The JET JWL-1642EVS & JWL-1642EVS-2 headstock is also made from a massive iron casting that insures rigid support for the motor and the high-strength spindle. After machining, the headstock is fitted with large diameter, high-quality ball bearings that support the precision machined spindle.
- Page 2 A 3/8”-diameter through hole provides access for removing the drive spur from the spindle with the included knock out rod. To maximize the versatility of the JET JWL-1642EVS & JWL-1642EVS-2 Wood Lathes, the headstock can be moved to any position along the bed by simply releasing the headstock lock with an easy to use handle.
- Page 3 Due to the dedicated inverter on the lathe the incoming voltage is fixed for a single voltage machine and cannot be converted as is possible with many other JET machines. Both motors are TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) models to resist dust contamination.
- Page 4 Both the JET JWL-1642EVS and JWL-1642EVS-2 lathes use a precision-made stepped pulley system that creates distinct low and high rpm ranges. The low range allows for high torque and low speeds. The high range allows for higher speeds up to 3200 RPM for turning small pieces and spindles.
- Page 5 JET JWL-1642EVS & JWL-1642EVS-2 is a great lathe for the most serious of woodturners all the way down to new turners. JET believes in the superior fit and finish, outstanding quality and enhanced design so much that we can easily offer the customer a 5-year warranty, proving we stand behind the product and the name of JET.
