Jet debuts variable-speed lathe

Jet added a 14” x 40” variable-speed woodworking lathe, available as a floor-standing (JWL-1440VSK) or bench-top (JWL-1440VS) model.

It features a sliding headstock that pivots 360 degrees with seven positive-locking positions and an outboard turning capabilities, according to the company.

“This robust, smooth-running lathe provides the control, power, precision, and flexibility that woodturners are looking for,” product manager Joan Duvall said in a statement. “As woodturning continues to grow in popularity, the 1440VSK and 1440VS are great choices for enthusiasts or professionals who want to add a full-featured lathe to their shop.”
