Both the JET JWL-1642EVS & JWL-1642EVS-2 Wood
Lathes are based on heavy-duty iron castings. Precision
machining prepares the high-quality raw castings to insure long-term accuracy and
smooth operation. The generous ways on the bed are precisely ground to be certain they
are flat and smooth and remain that way.
The JET JWL-1642EVS & JWL-
1642EVS-2 bring the accuracy,
capability, durability and value
you demand in your machines.
Even the leg sets with their widely spaced feet are one piece iron
castings. Making the leg sets from cast iron contributes to the
vibration absorbing 440-lb weight of the JET JWL-1642EVS &
JWL-1642EVS-2 Wood Lathes. Adjustable heavy-duty pads at
each foot insure a solid stance on uneven surfaces. With these
legs, the spindle (center) height is a comfortable 44 ½ inches
above the floor.
Each leg set has cast-in supports that accept common 2 x 4 to 2 x
12 lumber for making storage shelving or a platform for
sandbags to add additional dampening for those who
frequently turn exceptionally large, out-of-balance blanks.
Even the legs are made
from an iron casting and
include these cast-in
supports that make adding
a shelf to storage area
simple.
A handy swing out basket below
the bed provides always needed
storage for often used tools and
supplies.
We also include a handy swing-out basket, mounted below
the bed. This basket is perfect for storing often used tools
and supplies.
Headstock
The JET JWL-1642EVS & JWL-1642EVS-2 headstock is also made from a massive iron
casting that insures rigid support for the motor and the high-strength spindle. After
machining, the headstock is fitted with large diameter, high-quality ball bearings that
support the precision machined spindle.
