JET JWL-1220 Woodturning Lathe 

 
The JET 
JWL-1220 
represents the 
next step in 
our hugely 
popular mini 
lathe series. 
With 12

 

swing and 20

 

between 
center 
capacities 
plus an array 
of user-
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. 

In its standard form, (left) the JWL-1220 is a very capable lathe. Add the bed (and 

stand) extension (left) and its between centers capacity rivals that of many “full-sized” 

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. 
 

Power and Speed 

 

The motor is mounted below the bed 

with the belt tension handles up front 

for quick speed changes. 

 
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.
