Very sturdy and very easy to assemble. It is exactly what it says it is. I’ve used it several times now and not one has gone wrong with the machine. I really recommend this lathe.

Plenty of power and mass. Well balanced, tight machined-tolerances, smooth running…almost totally silent. I was also impressed by the packaging. The machine also looks good. I was looking for my last lathe and this one meets all my needs.

The Jet JWL 1640 came perfectly packaged to protect it during shipping. It was a breeze to put together and operates as advertised. I’ve turned two projects already and am pleased with its design and operation!
