Questions and Answers

    Why does my Jet JWL-1015 motor fail to develop full power?
    • K
      Kyle GrantAug 11, 2025
      The motor may fail to develop full power due to several reasons: the power line might be overloaded, requiring you to correct the overload condition; the wires in the power supply system could be undersized, suggesting an increase in supply wire size; there might be too many machines on the same circuit, so try shutting off other machines; or the motor itself could be worn, indicating that it needs replacement.

      If the motor or spindle stalls, it could be due to several reasons. You might be taking an excessive cut, so reduce the depth of cut. The belt may be improperly adjusted, worn, or broken, requiring adjustment or replacement. The motor brushes could be worn or damaged, in which case you should replace them. Worn spindle bearings can also cause this issue, so replace the bearings. Finally, a worn motor may be the cause, indicating the need for a replacement.

    Why is my Jet JWL-1015 Lathe vibrating so much?
    • S
      Sylvia AndrewsAug 25, 2025
      Excessive vibration in your Jet Lathe can stem from several causes. The workpiece might be warped, out of round, have a major flaw, or was improperly prepared for turning; correct this by planing or sawing the workpiece, or discard it and use a new one. Worn spindle bearings or a worn drive belt can also cause vibration, so replace them as needed. Check if the motor mounting fasteners are loose and tighten them. Lastly, ensure the lathe is on a flat surface.

    What to do if tools tend to grab or dig in on my Jet JWL-1015 Lathe?
    • K
      Kyle MorrisAug 29, 2025
      If tools tend to grab or dig in, it might be because the tools are dull, so keep them sharp. Alternatively, the tool support might be set too low or too far from the workpiece; reposition the tool support height and/or closer to the workpiece. Finally, ensure you are using the correct tool for the operation.

    How to fix tailstock movement when applying pressure on a Jet JWL-1015 Lathe?
    • K
      Kyle SanchezSep 4, 2025
      If the tailstock moves when applying pressure, it could be that the cam lock nut needs adjusting, so tighten it. Another possibility is that the lathe bed and tailstock mating surfaces are greasy or oily; remove the tailstock and clean these surfaces with a cleaner/degreaser, then re-apply a light coat of oil to the lathe bed surface.
