Both the JET JWL-1642EVS and JWL-1642EVS-2 lathes use a precision-made stepped
pulley system that creates distinct low and high rpm ranges. The low range allows for
high torque and low speeds. The high range allows for higher speeds up to 3200 RPM for
turning small pieces and spindles. The pulleys are driven by a serpentine-style belt that is
known for smooth power transmission, low slippage and dramatically reduced heat
generation as compared to the more common V-belts. The result is a much longer life of
the serpentine belt itself and surrounding bearings within the headstock.
Changing between the 0-1200 and 0-3200 rpm speed ranges is fast, easy and done from
in front of the machine. Even the belt tensioning handles are mounted up front within
easy reach. A large door on the front of the headstock provides access to the belt and
pulleys. Relax the belt tension, move the belt to the new position and re-tension the belt.
Fast, easy and all done from in front of the lathe!
Tool Rest
The cast iron tool rest base is designed to be very rigid, easy to
position and with its comfortably long handle, very easy to lock
in position. The 1”-diameter bore accepts the included 14”-long
tool rest as well as many commonly used accessories without
modification. The locking handle for the tool rest post can be
repositioned as needed to keep it out of your way.
Tailstock
The large tailstock has the mass and wide base to generate the
stability you need. The large ram has a full 4” travel, operated by
an easy to turn 5” diameter handwheel fitted with a spinner handle. The ram has the
popular #2 Morse taper and a 3/8”-diameter through hole, which is convenient for drillin
lamp bases. Like the
