JET 18" x 40" Wood Lathe, Variable Speed, Sliding Headstock (JWL-1840EVS) | Model JWL-1840EVS (719600) | 2 HP, 230V 1Ph, 15A circuit, no GFCI | 40-3200 RPM, Reversible | 36-pos indexing | 5-Yr warranty

40-1/2" BETWEEN CENTERS WITH A FULL-LENGTH SLIDING HEADSTOCK — Turns work up to 18-1/2" in diameter over the bed (14-1/4" over the tool rest base) and up to 40-1/2" long between centers (38-1/4" with the live cone center). The cast iron headstock unlocks with one handle and slides the full length of the bed, so you can set it at the left end for spindle work or move it to the far end to turn off the end of the bed. The headstock slides; it does not pivot or swivel.

2 HP INVERTER DRIVE, 40–3200 RPM, FORWARD AND REVERSE — An AC inverter converts 230V single-phase power to run a 2 HP totally enclosed, fan-cooled 3-phase induction motor balanced to reduce noise and vibration. Turn the knob for infinitely variable speed in two belt ranges (40–1200 and 100–3200 RPM) and read spindle speed on the digital readout. A soft-start ramp eliminates starting shock, braking shortens coast-down, and the forward/reverse switch can be moved while running.

CAST IRON BUILT AND MADE FOR WOODTURNING — Legs, bed, headstock, tailstock and tool support are cast iron, with a steel spindle, for a 418 lb lathe that dampens vibration on out-of-round blanks. Built for bowls, platters, spindles and table legs; 36 indexing positions at 10° hold the spindle for fluting or layout. Designed for wood only, not for turning metal or plastic.
