  • My new friend (edit)
Style: Lathe
I had a Harbor Freight lathe. Now I have this Jet lathe. It's like going from a 1985 Ford Escort to a brand new Camaro. First, the good: -1.5 hp DC motor that runs on 120v. Smooth and extremely quiet. -Infinitely variable speed from 40 to 3200 rpm. I've gotten it down to 35 rpm and at 3200 it is so quiet I can listen to music on my Dot. -Reversible. Reverse sanding is a beautiful thing. -Heavy, solid construction and tool rest tighteners that just work. -Tailstock quill travel is a good 4 inches and the increments are laser etched on the quill. -Rotating head stock so you can do outboard turning. <--NEW MODELS NO LONGER HAVE THIS FEATURE. -Digital rpm readout. -Spindle lock. Yeah, I like this a lot. -Indexing. If you know what this is, you know you want it. -Live center can be used without the center pin. You knock it out with the knockout rod. Also comes with a cone live center that can be used without the cone. -Three inch reversible faceplate. -Side mount (on the leg) tool holder. Very convenient. Now the not so good: -Included faceplate is only 3 inches. Useful, but I long for maybe a 6 inch faceplate. -There are two speed ranges you switch between by moving the drive belt instead of a continuous range from low to high. This isn't as bad as it sounds. First range is 40 to 1200. Second range is 100 to 3200. So most of the time you spend on the second range. And moving the belt is EXTREMELY easy to do with the access door on the front of the headstock. Move a lever, open the door, move the belt, lower the lever, shut the door. No screw or latches. -This is HEAVY. 440 pounds in the crate, 375 pounds assembled. Best to have two manly men to put it together, but I was able to do it by myself. Yeah, I'm manly, but honestly, it can be done by one person if you follow the instructions. I expect to use this lathe for the next 25 years or so. I'll be 90 then. For now, this lathe has my Woodturning Seal of Approval. ... show more

  • This is an amazing piece of machinery
Style: Lathe
This is an amazing piece of machinery. I had a 20+ year old delta lathe that had some worn out parts. the cost of the parts was more than the lathe was worth. I decided to splurge on a new lathe and this one is even more than I expected. The design is really well thought out, and everything works silky smooth. It's very heavy, so vibration is not an issue. The electronic speed control is great. The inverter converts single phase 110 to 3 phase 220 so it has great power throughout the speed range. I'm really looking forward to getting back into turning. My only disappointment was that the machine was made in China. Since Jet is based in Tennessee, I thought this would be a US product, but oh well. ... show more

  • Top quality workmanship. A well made lathe!
Style: Lathe
I am going to work with wood when I retire (soon). This is the most special of all the equipment I've purchased so far for that purpose. I did a lot of research to make sure I got what I thought I would need and like. So far, I love it. I'm having fun learning to turn wood again. Even my son and grandson are excited about it and have used it to practice-up for a serious project or two. It comes with a couple of live centers, a small face plate, one tool rest, and a knock-out rod. I added a couple more smaller tool rests, a chuck, and of course, gouges. It was straight-forward to put together, but the weight was a challenge. I won't be putting it on wheels, nor do I think it should be on wheels. I am looking forward to that day when I can spend time turning wood. ... show more

  • My first lathe
Style: Lathe
This is my first lathe, so am just learning how to use it. The set up was fairly easy, but would suggest having some help to lift the headstock and leg assembly into place. I was able to put it together by myself, but this thing is heavy! The slow speed is really nice. Mine will run at about 60 rpm in low gear. Note the stated length is 40 inches, but when I mounted a 37" bat billet, I had to move the head and tailstocks beyond the edge of the bed on both ends (hung off the ends about 1"). It worked fine, but I was not expecting that. Overall, I love the lathe and hope to gain experience in using it. To date, I have turned a bat for my grandson, roughed out a bowl from a log I cut and am working on wine stoppers atm... ... show more

  • Great lathe
Style: Lathe
Jet 1640 - Five Stars: This is a great machine that will, hopefully, last a long time. Like other reviewers said, this thing is HEAVY but easy to setup. It only takes about 30 minutes with two people. Seller and shipping - Five stars: Spreetail is an excellent seller. They were very helpful with any and all questions and concerns. It was shipped freight with RL Carriers, they were excellent also. The delivery guy was courteous and kindly put it in the garage when I asked. The Lathe didn’t come with the cushion that sits on top of the headstock. I contacted Spreetail but they couldn’t order the part number; but made it right. I found the part on Jets website. I also put caster wheels on mine like another reviewer (thanks.) It rolls nice and smooth in my pegboard garage (came that way) ... show more

  • Good product, need better distribution.
Style: Lathe
The product is a good product. However, the shipping company ruined the motor so that it wouldn't work. I was hoping for a replacement, but the company did not have one on hand to replace it with so I went the reimbursement route. I hope to get another one from a different distributer.
