    works very well and quiet compared to my old machine. like the extra light on it. heavy enough that i did not bolt it to the bench yet and still get no vibration from it when turning.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Jet Wood Lathe, 12" x 20" Variable Speed, Model JWL-1220VS :

    This is a good lathe for its class. The drive has less than .001 runout and the bed is true. I have been doing workworking for several years and turning is the thing I enjoy the most. I turn pens and bowels mostly. The lathe was easy to set up out of the box. The turning plate no flats for removal. The on/off switch has no safety key. The tail stock is hard to slide but will wear-in. I have noticed wood shavings collecting around the motor. It is a good practice to keep this area clear as the motor will retain heat.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    This machine has the power and accuracy to tackle my most demanding jobs. I like it. I have one suggestion to make it better though. The lights reach needs to be a bit longer. I had to add another light to be able to see my work piece adequately.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Jet Wood Lathe, 12" x 20" Variable Speed, Model JWL-1220VS :

    Just got this lathe in December and have made about 50 pens with it. Very quiet running with plenty of power and speed. Every thing seems to be very well made, everything seems tight. There is a very slight vibration when i have it running at full speed, although it is not bolted to the work bench. Two things that i noticed: the hand wheel was slightly over tighten when i received the lathe, causing some excess heat and vibration, which is easily fixed by unthreading the hand wheel 1/8th of a turn, #2, there seems to be some faulty wiring, when i jiggle the power cord, sometimes the lathe will turn on momentarily (if it is off) or turn off when it is on. I have not contacted Jet about this problem or tried to fix it as it has not really affected me yet. Over all this is a great lathe with plenty of power and capacity to do anything from pens to some decent sized bowls (which i plan to experiment with in the near future with my new Nova g3 chuck) and with the optional bed extension, large spindles. (No, i am not affiliated with Jet, Woodcraft or any other company for that matter)

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Variable speed funcion is easy to use. Mount this lathe on a Rikon bench. You'll want to install other lighting. The attached lamp fixture is not very good.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
