About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service. What's in the Box Lathe, one six-inch tool-rest, one10-inch tool-rest, one faceplate, one drift rod, one live center, one spur center, one pair of safety goggles, one tool caddy, one work lamp, one owner's manual, warranty card, one three-millimeter hex wrench, and one five-millimeter hex wrench.

Comment:
This is my first lathe, I researched many other lathes and felt this would be the best value for my money. could have spent $200 less on other lathes but felt I would be sacrificing quality and would have slightly less capability. I have now turned about 10 pens and a few bowls and love this machine. Its quiet and smooth and when spindle speed needs to be changed its a breeze! Ive had the opportunity to look at a few other lathes that are comparable now and can see that the Jet lathe is worth the extra $. I opted not to pay the extra $100 for a variable speed model and dont regret it, nice feature but not a must have. A few items i bought with the lathe are a 4 jaw chuch (MUST HAVE) and a drill chuck (again MUST HAVE) and dont go cheap on the Chisels. Overall a great machine thats easy to use, you cant go wrong with a Jet!
Comment:
My husband and I are new to turning. We purchased the Jet 1220 lathe and are very happy with its performance. The only thing we would like to see change is where the light is positioned on the machine. I was very impressed with delivery I was promised within two weeks and had it in less then one week.

Comment:
I received my Jet Mini Lathe in awful shipping packaging. It had been laying in water and had a touch of rust on one of the corners. The box was very beat up and the lathe had areas where the paint had chipped off. It almost looked used. I cleaned it up with a little soapy water and that helped. I've been using the lathe for a week now and I love it. The Jet 1220 is a perfect fit for me. I love the product just not the shipping.

Comment:
I stepped up to the 1220 after learning how to turn on the 1014. Given the choice, the 1220 is a much better machine. The larger turning capacity and weight as well the additional power are the biggest advantages. However the little things like the tool holder, the additional, larger, tool rest and the attached light are a nice plus. Actually I am glad that I had the 1014 first as I pretty much trashed it learning to turn. Now that I better understand how to take care of a lathe I really appreciate the 1220. I have turned bowls up to 10" in diameter with no problem, at least no problem with the lathe :-) If you have limited space like I do then this is a great unit at a super price.
Comment:
I fretted and studied for some time before coming to a descision to purchase the Jet 1220 from Amazon. (of course the next week it was on sale elsewhere but even had I purchased the on sale and paid shipping it would have cost more than the Amazon with free shipping).
The lathe was easily set up cleaned and checked out true. I have turned a few things and found it has more than ample power and plenty of mass to stay put on the workbench.
I highly reccommend this lathe.
