Amazon.com Review
To woodworkers who know the reputation of Jet products, the merit of this 12-inch variable-speed lathe should come as no surprise. Start with the guts of any tool, the motor. Prewired for 115 volts and fully encased in a metal housing for longer life, its 3/4-horses turn material at 500 to 3,000 rpm, depending on which of the six speeds you select. The cast-iron lathe bed, headstock, and tailstock provide superior vibration dampening and durability, while the heavy-gauge steel components and stand give rigid support. Pivoting 90 degrees for outboard turning of up to 16-1/2 inches on larger projects, the MT-2 headstock protects a Reeves drive pulley system with which we made quick and easy speed changes. Down on the other end, the hollow tailstock allows for longer hole bores and houses a live center, a luxury standard on all Jet lathes not found in much of the competition.
You'll love the versatility that comes with 34-1/2 inches between working centers and a 12-inch swing capability over the bed (8-3/4 inches over the tool-rest base). All adjustments, whether extending the ram its full 2-1/4 inches or sliding the 12-inch tool rest, move fluidly and clamp down tight with little effort. Designed for use over the long haul, this tool has all the qualities professional woodworkers demand. --Justin Paul.

 From the Manufacturer
With an all ball-bearing 3/4 horsepower induction motor and its electronic variable speed range of 450-2,600 rpm, this lathe is the right choice for beginners and experienced woodworkers. It has the capacity to turn spindles up to 40 inches long and for faceplate turning, the swing over the tool rest base is 10-1/8 inches and swing over the bed is 14 inches. The headstock pivots for outboard turning and can be positioned anywhere along the bed. Cast-iron construction and a ribbed design give the lathe bed its strength while reducing vibration. The hollow tailstock ram travels 3 inches and allows the use of a hollow cup center and long boring bits for drilling into work pieces such as lamp bases. With the unit stopped, the 24 separate lockable divisions on the spindle and detents on the headstock make it easy to sand flats or make precise calculations without the need to remove the work piece from the lathe. Easy to use controls like multi-position locking levers and an oversized tool rest locking handle make for convenient adjustments, while the on/off switch is located high above the motor assembly for quick and easy access. The included stand has a wide footprint designed for maximum stability. If a change in spindles is necessary the standard 1-8 right-hand thread allows the use of any standard threaded spindles.
