Jet Tools 719500 JWL-1640EVS wood lathe is a 16 inch x 40 inch wood lathe that provides capacity for a wide range of spindle and small-to-medium bowl work, so one machine can cover many day-to-day turning jobs. The lathe is powered by a 1.5HP motor operating on 115V, which supports woodworking shops wired for standard single-phase power while still driving typical hardwood turning tasks. Electronic infinitely variable speed from 40 to 3,200 RPM lets you match spindle speed to stock diameter and cut type, which helps control surface finish and tool behavior. A conveniently located digital readout displays speed, so adjustments are quick and repeatable during setups or passes. The E Drive Inverter features a built in EMI filter and is enclosed for added protection, which supports consistent motor control performance in a woodworking environment.
Electronic infinitely variable speed from 40 to 3,200 RPM lets you change speed without belt changes, which supports fine-tuning during roughing, shaping, and sanding on the same setup. The conveniently located digital readout provides a clear RPM reference, so you can return to proven speed settings across repeat jobs. A newly designed headstock locking handle accessible from the front of the lathe allows you to lock the headstock position while standing at the normal operating area, which streamlines repositioning. The remote emergency stop button can be situated along the lathe bed, putting a large stop control near the working position to quickly shut down rotation during operations. A rubber tool mat on top of the headstock offers a surface for setting chisels during setups, keeping tools at hand near the work zone.
The JET Tools JWL-1640EVS 16 inch x 40 inch layout supports common furniture, stair, and general woodworking spindle lengths, so it can handle many standard turning tasks on one bed configuration. Headstock slides for maximum versatility along the lathe bed, so you can position the headstock close for short spindles or farther down for longer pieces. The extended spindle nose with dual headstock spindle bearings supports the spindle during work, which helps when turning pieces that load the spindle further from the headstock face. Four inch cast iron risers allow adjustment of the lathe height, aligning the spindle centerline with the operator for typical standing work. The convenient leg-mounted tool holder keeps turning tools close to the machine, reducing walking between cuts and setup changes. A tool post paired with the banjo gives a stable platform for chisels, so you can maintain consistent tool support across different rest positions.
Electronic infinitely variable speed from 40 to 3,200 RPM, managed through the E Drive Inverter with built in EMI filter, provides smooth speed changes, which helps with controlled cutting pressure and surface quality. The conveniently located digital readout ties an exact RPM value to each job, helping you repeat speeds when revisiting similar stock and profiles. A banjo with a non-marring, positive locking wedge system securely holds the tool post, so the rest stays put under tool pressure while the post surface remains protected during adjustments. The tailstock features Acme threads, giving smooth quill travel that supports fine positioning against workpieces for drilling or support. The improved tailstock quill locking mechanism with anti-rotation key helps the quill stay aligned when locked, supporting consistent contact at the center. Newly designed headstock locking handle accessible from the front of the lathe, along with the remote emergency stop button that can be situated along the bed, places key controls near the operator, which supports efficient adjustments and reaction during turning.
The Jet Tools 719500 JWL-1640EVS wood lathe is specified as 16 inch x 40 inch, covering typical spindle and many medium-length turning applications on one machine bed.
The JWL-1640EVS electronic infinitely variable speed from 40 to 3,200 RPM lets you match speed to stock size and operation, supporting better cut control and surface results.
The JWL-1640EVS conveniently located digital readout displays spindle RPM, so you can record and repeat speed settings across similar jobs or materials.
The JWL-1640EVS headstock slides for maximum versatility and uses an extended spindle nose with dual headstock spindle bearings, supporting varied setups and spindle loading.
The JWL-1640EVS banjo uses a non-marring, positive locking wedge system to securely hold the tool post, helping keep the rest stable while protecting the post surface.
The JWL-1640EVS tailstock features Acme threads and an improved quill locking mechanism with anti-rotation key, supporting smooth quill movement and stable, aligned locking.
The JET Tools 719500 JWL-1640EVS 16 inch x 40 inch wood lathe combines a 1.5HP, 115V motor with electronic infinitely variable speed from 40 to 3,200 RPM, which supports a broad range of everyday turning operations. A headstock that slides for maximum versatility, extended spindle nose with dual bearings, and four inch cast iron risers work together to adapt the machine to different workpiece sizes and operator heights. With a banjo using a non-marring, positive locking wedge system, Acme-threaded tailstock, and conveniently located digital readout, this lathe offers control-focused features suited to repeat shop workflows.
