Finely machined and balanced step pulleys on the motor and spindle provide six rpm
settings to handle
virtually any turning or sanding task you may
encounter. Changing from one speed to another among
the available 500, 840, 1240, 1800, 2630 and 3975 rpm
settings is fast and tool free.
Release the belt tension using the front-mounted levers
and then slip the drive belt onto the new pulley
positions through the two spring-loaded access doors.
Re-tension the belt and the JET JWL-1220 is ready for
use.
Indexing
Another new feature on the JET JWL-1220 is 24-
position indexing that makes it possible to do many
fluting or drilling operations with exceptional accuracy. A specially designed, spring-
loaded button above the hand wheel 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.
Moving the belt between the five
available pulley positions is fast,
tool-free and easy through the
spring-loaded access doors.
Standardized Versatility
The JET JWL-1220 is designed to be compatible with a
huge range of commonly used accessories. The spindle and
tailstock both accept tooling with the popular #2 Morse
taper. The spindle has equally popular 1 X 8 threads. Using
these popular sizes mean you can use tooling and
accessories you already have. They also mean finding
specialized accessories in the future will be easy and
economical.
The 1X8 spindle thread and #2
Morse taper make the JWL-
1220 compatible with a huge
range of accessories.
