Jet Tools JWL-1220VS Lathe User Manual


 
Bed Extension
Adding the JWL-1220BE 28” (#708377) bed extension
expands the JET JWL-1220VS between center capacity to
nearly 50“, exceeding that of many full-sized 12” lathes! The
3/4hp motor has the power needed to handle those long
pieces.
The JWL-1220BE 28” bed extension comes with the
necessary hardware for installation but goes a step further to
make this process easy. A hanging plate on the mating end of
the extension makes aligning it to the JET JWL-1220VS bed
much easier when a second set of hands are not available.
The mating face also has hex head socket screws pre-
installed that make aligning the JWL-1220BE 28” bed extension perfectly much easier.
Even the rubber-cushioned feet on the bed extension are adjustable to be sure your newly
configured JET JWL-1220VS is stable on irregular surfaces.
Stand
We offer the JWL-1220S
(#708378) Adjustable Stand
that makes your JET JWL-
1220VS a rock-solid, stand-
alone machine. Built from
heavy walled square steel
tubing with fully welded
plate steel joining plates, the
JWL-1220S is beautifully
finished to retain its good looks while resisting corrosion for many years to come.
The JWL-1220S comes with rubber tipped adjustable leveling feet to dampen vibrations
and resist moving. The lathe mounting plates are adjustable so spindle height can be set
to between 43 and 45” above the floor for maximum comfort.
The 28” bed extension and
3/4HP motor allow turning
pieces up to 50” long, a capacity
rivaling far more expensive
machines.
The stand features wide-stance, rubber-tipped feet (left) that adjust for
irregular floors. The mounting plates (right) are adjustable up and down to
fine-tune spindle height for comfort.
