The JET 1221VS is different from anything we've made before. In truth, it’s different from anything that anybody has ever made before. The design is better. The features are better. The entire turning experience is better. And it all focuses on one concept… Control.

stone turning

ByBilly T. Lordon June 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

This lathe is way more than I expected, It is very well built and quality parts are used.
I have never seen a lathe with such a wide speed range.
It is a 115 volt motor but works just fine with 110 volt and is a standard plug type.
I turn stone, some starting at 100 pounds and unbalanced and starting rpm at 60 rpm I can now turn safely
even turning logs.
The price is at 799.00 but would expect to pay way more!!!
July the 1st the price will go up so if you can't decide, push the buy button because it is so worth it even after the price hike your going to get a great deal!

Best one for the cost

ByCourtneyEon December 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

Husband loves this! He has been looking at them for years, and I finally bit the bullet and purchased this for him as an early Christmas gift. The things he is making are REALLY nice. My dad also has a similar one- and they both say this is the better of the two. My husband did a lot of research on these- and if you don't want to spend thousands- this is supposed to be the best one for your money.

I will say that you do need a lot of accessories to go along with the lathe. Yes this machine will turn the wood- but you need to tools to chisel the wood and different attachments for different projects. I guess I did not realize this. We ended up spending hundreds of dollars more on accessories- but you're going to do that no matter which one you buy.

For the money this one rocks!

Can't go wrong with this lathe

ByCarmen Serretton March 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

I Received this lathe in the mail a few weeks ago and absolutely love it. The digital display is so nice to have, smooth and comes with everything I needed. I may get a larger faceplate eventually but this one works for now because it has 8 holes to secure the wood rather than just 4. Constructed very well, very solid. I'm not having an issue with the rest guard turning or sliding on me like other reviews said but maybe it will in time? I also don't have an issue with the tail stock moving, the lock works great.

the digital display for the spindle helps me easily repeat turn speeds for similar woods

ByAmazon_Customeron August 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

this thing is a workhorse. the digital display for the spindle helps me easily repeat turn speeds for similar woods. i use a lot of different types of wood and have a chart showing spindle speeds for each phase of turning for each type of wood. (roughing, skew, sanding etc) having to guess at spindle speeds I have dialed in would be a nightmare.

Great lathe!

ByAmazon Customeron May 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

It is very well built, heavy duty and is a huge improvement over my mini lathe and my old craftsman lathe. I recommend waiting for Jet's Woodworking sales (usually twice yearly) for 15% savings. I mounted it on a hydraulic lift table (from local cheapo tool supplier) rather than buying the Jet stands as it allows height adjustment as well as wheels for portability.

Its a good buy. Im very pleased with mine.

ByJames A. Milleron July 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

I want to first say I'm brand new to woodturning, but not new to woodworking. I receiving the package from a local amazon warehouse. Which I planned bc it seemed that the biggest problem people where having was that they where ordering theirs from half way across America and expect a 150 pound box not to get dropped or torn. That just is unrealistic. SO I received my lathe in 3 days in perfect condition. First thing I did was check to see if each side came together and was centered, which it was. I know there is a word for that but don't know it. Also to see if the motor powered all the way up, which it did. The lathe is quiet as hell and very powerful. I have it sitting on milk crates bc the stand was way to expensive!!

Works great for me

ByRichon November 27, 2014

Verified Purchase

The tool did arrive with a broken power switch, not the switch itself, but the tabs that hold it in the housing. Quick search and I found a replacement for a few dollars and got it all fixed. It not clear if it left the factory this way or if it was damaged in shipping. The packaging was ok... stuff happens.

In the meantime, the tool still worked, just had to fumble a little with the switch. The speed control is great! plenty of torque, not much (if any) vibrations. Overall I'm really happy with this lathe.

Top of its class

ByFluteMasteron July 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

I purchased the Jet 1221vs for a portable lathe to demonstrate the Flute Master at symposiums and other turning events. It lives up to everything I needed for this purpose. It is exceptionally quiet and sturdy. The variable speed in a small lathe with a digital readout is great. To be a little picky I would like the tool post and tool support to be heavier. The speed is slow to reach its setting, but 2 or 3 seconds is a minor thing after being used to a larger lathe. It is certainly the best in its class. Amazon lived up to its reputation with speedy, on-time delivery.

Great first time lathe! Digital variable speed is the way to go!

What a great lathe. A lot of over spray on the bottom of the banjo. Was able to clean it up with file. Other than that! What a great lathe. Absolutely love it. No complaints.
