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.
