  • 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

  • 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

  • Great purchase
Style: Lathe
It was delivered by RL carriers, I read some bad reviews about them but I had a great experience, it was delivered almost a week ahead of schedule, the driver said he would put it where ever i wanted it. All the pieces were well protected in the box, which was on a pallet. They used good wood for the pallet and inside the box that I was able to salvage for projects. I was able to get it assembled, set up and leveled by my self (I'm 67). I'm happy with my purchase, and really like my new Wood Lathe. I turn bowls, vases, make rings and bracelets, wooden fly fishing reels for art, a baseball bat is my next different project. This was an upgrade from a Harbor freight Lathe. It was OK for the money but it was time to get features and function and be able to turn larger projects. ... show more

  • Jet 1640 - headstock no longer rotates
Style: Lathe
The headstock on the jet 1640 no longer rotates, it only slides. You can always slide the headstock to the end of the rail and turn larger bowls from there but you'll have to buy an extention attachment that runs about $290. I wish Jet would have kept the rotating feature. The electronic variable speed feature is really nice. The speed goes down to 40rpm which is good for larger/uneven blanks. It was this feature that made me choose the jet 1640 over the 1440, which can only go down to 400rpm and doesn't let you fine tune the speed. The finish on the cast iron is really poor. When spending $2,000 I would expect for it to be flawless. The Laguna REVO and Galaxi DVR are good alternatives if you're looking for something else in this price range. It comes with a 5 year warranty! Which is much longer than any of the competitors. This was another reason why I chose Jet over the other models. Overall, it runs smooth and is a great machine. ... show more

  • Love my jet lathe!
Style: Lathe
The media could not be loaded. Love the lathe and I'm already turning out some really nice items my first week on the lathe. I'm a glass blower that wanted to try some wood lathe work and I know from passed experience the right quality tool makes all the difference. So I researched and this was the lathe for me. Shipping was a breeze and the guys were very helpful and got it almost all the way to my shop. It took two people to properly assemble it. It came a little cosmetically damaged like almost everything does that's shipped now a days but its structurally fine. Jet has awesome customer service and will answer just about every question you have. I'm very happy I went with jet. I posted a few pics of some wood I turned my first week playing with the lathe so it's nothing to fancy but I was proud of them. This lathe has all the power I need. I did by a rikon magnetic bandsaw light to attach to the top of this and the jet lathe guard which you can get on amazon. You can feel confident buying jet knowing that they back their stuff for 5 years and have a good customer service team. ... show more
