JWL-1642EVS specifications

The Jet Tools JWL-1642EVS and JWL-1642EVS-2 are standout lathes in the realm of woodturning, designed for both novice and seasoned woodworkers. These lathes offer unmatched versatility and precision, making them ideal for a wide variety of turning projects, from simple spindles to complex bowls.

One of the most notable features of the JWL-1642EVS is its powerful 1.5 HP motor that delivers excellent torque across a wide range of RPMs. This enhanced performance allows users to work with various wood species while maintaining smooth operation, a critical factor for achieving a high-quality finish. The electronic variable speed (EVS) control system provides convenient adjustments, allowing artisans to select the optimal speed for their specific turning needs. With a speed range from 40 to 3,600 RPM, craftspeople can effortlessly switch between fine detail work and aggressive stock removal.

The lathe's robust design is complemented by a cast iron bed that minimizes vibrations and ensures stability during operation. This construction not only enhances durability but also contributes to precise results, allowing users to create intricate designs without worrying about inconsistencies in the finish. Additionally, the JWL-1642EVS-2 variant offers an even larger capacity, with an impressive 16-inch swing over the bed and 42-inch length, accommodating larger workpieces.

Furthermore, both models feature a convenient electronic spindle lock, making the process of changing chucks and accessories quick and efficient. The adjustable swivel headstock allows for greater flexibility in accessing various angles, providing users with more control and comfort during operation.

Safety is also a priority in the design of the JWL-1642EVS and JWL-1642EVS-2, with features such as a safety restart switch, ensuring that the lathe cannot restart unexpectedly after a power interruption. Easy-to-read digital readouts for speed settings further enhance user experience by allowing for precise monitoring while turning.

Overall, the Jet Tools JWL-1642EVS and JWL-1642EVS-2 combine advanced technology, durable construction, and user-friendly features, making them indispensable tools for any woodturner looking to expand their craft and achieve professional-quality results.
