JET JWL-1220VS Variable Speed Lathe
Our JET mini lathes set the industry standard for years.
Now, the new JET JWL-1220VS lathe brings variable
speed to this instantly popular machine. Add the JWL-
1220BE 28” bed extension and the JET JWL-1220VS
50” between centers capacity rivals that of many
larger, more expensive lathes.
The JET JWL-1220VS lathes are built using our time
honored heavy cast iron technology to insure
maximum accuracy and the long-term durability that makes the JET JWL-1220VS Wood
Lathe an even greater value.
Power and Speeds
The JET JWL-1220VS lathe features a
3/4HP motor (115V only) that runs
strong, smooth and consistent. Mounted
directly below the bed, the motor is out of
the way yet easily accessible from the
front for belt tensioning. Tool-free levers
on the front of the JET JWL-1220VS
Wood Lathe make adjusting belt tension quick and easy.
The JWL-1220VS uses a sophisticated electronic speed
control along with finely machined six step pulleys that
together provide total spindle RPM control within a huge
overall speed range of 200 to 4300 RPM! The electronic
speed control dial has 5 numerical dial settings which allow
making very specific RPM settings easy. Pulley position #1
is the largest diameter step on the spindle shaft, #6 the
smallest diameter step. Using the chart above (included on
the machine) one can set the speed as desired.
Changing the belt position on the JET JWL-1220VS Wood
Lathe step pulleys is fast and tool-free. Release the belt
tension using the front-mounted levers and then slip the
The JET JWL-1220VS brings the
versatility of variable speed to this very
popular lathe.

drive belt onto the new pulley positions through the two spring-
loaded access doors. Re-tension the belt and the JET JWL-
1220VS is ready for use.
Indexing / Spindle Lock
Another new feature on the JET JWL-1220VS series lathes is 24-
position indexing that makes it possible to do many fluting or
drilling operations with consistent spacing and exceptional
accuracy. A specially designed, spring-loaded button above the
handwheel can be depressed to temporarily lock the spindle for
removing thread-on accessories such as a chuck. That same
button can be screwed in to lock the spindle in any of the 24
positions, freeing your hands for other operations.
Standardized Versatility
The JET JWL-1220VS lathe
is designed to be compatible
with a huge range of
common accessories. The
spindle and tailstock accept
tooling with the popular #2
Morse taper. The spindle
nose exterior has the popular
1 X 8 threads. These
attachment sizes are virtually
standard in woodturning and
mean you can use tooling
and accessories you already
have. They also make finding specialized accessories in the future easy and economical.
Included Accessories
The JET JWL-1220VS comes with a full set of popular accessories. A four-wing spur
drive, quality ball bearing live center, knockout rod, 10” tool rest, 6” tool rest and 3”
diameter faceplate are standard equipment. We also include quality safety goggles.
The indexing button can be
held in manually for
removing threaded-on
accessories or it can be
screwed in to free your
hands for fluting or drilling
operations.
The JWL-1220VS comes with a handy tool rack and cord wrap (left) in
addition to the other accessories. The handy work light (right) makes
working with smaller turnings easier and safer.
Bed Extension
Adding the JWL-1220BE 28” (#708377) bed extension
expands the JET JWL-1220VS between center capacity to
nearly 50“, exceeding that of many full-sized 12” lathes! The
3/4hp motor has the power needed to handle those long
pieces.
The JWL-1220BE 28” bed extension comes with the
necessary hardware for installation but goes a step further to
make this process easy. A hanging plate on the mating end of
the extension makes aligning it to the JET JWL-1220VS bed
much easier when a second set of hands are not available.
The mating face also has hex head socket screws pre-
installed that make aligning the JWL-1220BE 28” bed extension perfectly much easier.
Even the rubber-cushioned feet on the bed extension are adjustable to be sure your newly
configured JET JWL-1220VS is stable on irregular surfaces.
Stand
We offer the JWL-1220S
(#708378) Adjustable Stand
that makes your JET JWL-
1220VS a rock-solid, stand-
alone machine. Built from
heavy walled square steel
tubing with fully welded
plate steel joining plates, the
JWL-1220S is beautifully
finished to retain its good looks while resisting corrosion for many years to come.
The JWL-1220S comes with rubber tipped adjustable leveling feet to dampen vibrations
and resist moving. The lathe mounting plates are adjustable so spindle height can be set
to between 43 and 45” above the floor for maximum comfort.
The 28” bed extension and
3/4HP motor allow turning
pieces up to 50” long, a capacity
rivaling far more expensive
machines.
The stand features wide-stance, rubber-tipped feet (left) that adjust for
irregular floors. The mounting plates (right) are adjustable up and down to
fine-tune spindle height for comfort.
Stand Extension
A specially designed extension kit JWL1220SE (#708379)
enlarges the JWL-1220S adjustable stand to accommodate the
JET JWL-1220VS when equipped with the JWL-1220SE bed
extension. Made from the same materials as the JWL-1220S
stand, all of the required parts and fasteners are included to make
this conversion easy without sacrificing stability.
The stand extension kit
includes a new center post,
extension bar and mounting
platform to accommodate
the bed extension.
