I bought this benchtop lathe to replace my trusty but very old (50+ years) Craftsman lathe. I wanted a smaller lathe that could share my cabinet top with my Tormek grinder, and I absolutely wanted variable speed. This JET lathe fills the bill perfectly. With the well-designed tool rest, changing setups is a snap, and the variable speed control is very precise. The cast iron frame is very solid, so vibration is no issue at all. And it looks a whole lot better than my old lathe too. I can't think of a thing I'd change on this lathe.

I’ve been turning now for about 25 years . It is my favorite form of woodworking. I’ve owned several different lathes over the years with this little one I have 4 lathes. Anyway I got this lath because I was setting up a small hobby shop in my basement and just needed a small variable speed lathe. My other lathes in my main shop are just 2 large for this project. Got it set up and turned several pen blanks and bottle stoppers and a couple of lidded boxes to test it out . The 1/2hp motor is just fine for these type turnings. I’ll be making several small finials next for boxes to be made. It’s perfect for the beginner and an experienced turner who just wants a well made small lathe. Price on Amazon was $100 cheaper than other sellers. I considered other lathes as well but this one just fit my needs exactly. This is basically a smaller version of the 1221 vs Jet lathe also a nice lathe .. I’ve owned that lathe and really liked it as well but sold it to help pay for a larger upgraded lathe. So on those cold winter days I can go downstairs to my shop and not have to go outside and dress for winter just to go play in the shop . I’m retired so I spoiled myself with this fun shop. There are a few other really nice lathes in this price point that do a excellent job , I would recommend the HF Bauer 14x21 as another good lathe and a excellent price for what you Get. You can get a bed extension here on Amazon that fits perfectly and is same color. I also own this lathe and extension. It was just to big for my little hobby space or I would have moved it. I highly recommend the Jet 1015vs if it fits your budget and needs its worth the money.. use it as intended and you won’t be disappointed.

This Jet lathe was a great choice for me, and I'm pleased that I bought it rather than a less expensive competitor with nothing but belts for speed adjustments. I'd done spindle turning on a very long, very heavy lathe, but decided on this model to try bowl and vase turning. The electronic speed adjustment dial makes all the difference for a beginner, and I haven't had to change from the middle belt position for any of my projects so far. Accessories are easy to find for this lathe, and the one-inch 8 tpi shaft makes it easy to use chucks and plates already among my tools. With limited space in my shop I also needed a benchtop lathe that was fairly easy to move, and this Jet lathe, while no lightweight, can sit in a limited space on any solid work surface. I'd wondered about the fairly short length between points, but the tailstock slides off easily and back on just as easily, so it stays out of the way when hollowing out a bowl. A well-designed lathe that's been a pleasure to use, and one I'd recommend to anyone.

Excellent mid size lathe. Great for smaller to midsize pieces. Has a 1" spindle; so if you want to use a Nova Chuck as an anchor device on your large spindle - you need to get the Nova Chuck with the 1" diameter insert. The lathe is sturdy, quite, and powerful. Is easy to use and comes with a comprehensive user's manual, making it a great first lathe for beginner wood-turners.

This was an early Christmas gift for my husband. He's had it a few days and has been in the garage ever since. So if you want quality time with your significant other, don't get this. If you want to make your partner very happy, order it and wait to see the beautiful items that will be made. So far my husband has made three rolling pins for family members and I love them all.

Love this lathe! I have never owned a lathe before and this is the perfect beginner/intermediate lathe. It does everything that I have asked it to do and more. I have been using it for about 3 months now and I haven't had any issues with it at all. Good power for the size of the lathe and just a great set up in general. Turned anything from pens to goblets and lidded jars. Really like the variable speed option. For most of my stuff, I set the belt on the middle speed option and adjust the speed accordingly, using the dial. ONLY thing that I wish that this lathe had was reverse. When I am sanding, I can turn the lathe by hand in the opposite direction and I can feel where the wood isn't as smooth going in reverse. Overall, an absolutely amazing lathe. Definitely would buy again, but hopefully won't need to!

I’ve only had it for a few days now so it’s possible my review will change but I’m upgrading from a 13” Wen to this and WOW the difference is beyond significant. I’m not sure how to describe it other than this just feels so much more solid and professional. One thing I was concerned about before buying was the manual belt changing thinking it would be a hassle to change it all the time. However, each belt setting has a pretty big range so I’m not sure I’ll ever really take it off of the middle speed.
