To free a jammed tailstock on the Jet JWL-1642EVS when the tailstock quill handwheel will not turn, follow these steps:

1. Loosen the locking handle that secures the tailstock in place.
2. Ensure that the tailstock is properly aligned on the lathe bed.
3. Check if any debris or dust is obstructing the movement of the quill.
4. Apply light lubricant to the quill and handwheel mechanism.
5. Gently turn the handwheel back and forth to free any stuck components.
6. If the quill remains jammed, inspect for any mechanical damage or misalignment.
7. If necessary, remove the tailstock for further inspection or servicing.
8. If the issue persists, contact an authorized JET repair center for assistance.

Always disconnect the machine from the power source before performing maintenance.

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.
