Cons
Best Uses

- Professional Use
Comments about JWL-1220VS, 12-in X 20-in Variable Speed Wood Lathe:
Upgraded to this midi lathe size from a Jet mini to allow slightly larger projects. This lathe is still great for smaller projects like pens and bottle stoppers, and the variable speed is really handy and a time saver. Plenty of power for anything that can fit between centers too!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about JWL-1220VS, 12-in X 20-in Variable Speed Wood Lathe:
Not so great for the big jobs, put perfect for the small to medium jobs.This little lathe has good speed control. I've made tool handles and pens and will try my first bowl soon. I've bought the 28" extension, so I'll be trying small table legs also. With sharp tools, I don't think I'll have any trouble with these. The 3/4 HP motor gives good power. I'm well pleased with my purchase.

Comments about JWL-1220VS, 12-in X 20-in Variable Speed Wood Lathe:
Have been looking for a lathe for almost a year now. Finally desided on the Jet 1220vs.I also purchased the stand and bed extension.I wanted a lathe that would fit my small shop but still be able to do larger and longer spindle projects.I was a little skeptical about the 3/4 hp motor being able to handle a larger project, but it is doing very well. Good power; the variable speed is great. You are able to change the speed of the lathe motor with the turn of the knob within the different belt settings which are not hard to change.It seems to be a well built sturdy lathe. I have had the lathe for two weeks. Have turned a few small spindles and an 8 inch x 19 inch cedar log I had in the back yard:I turned a lamp post out of it. I have not used the bed extension yet because I needed to purchase the stand extension. I could not find it on the CPO Jet web site even though I searched the part number.The larger Jet variable speed lathe did not fit my budget or my shop, this one fits well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
