  • Our take on the JET 10-Inch x 15-Inch Variable Speed Lathe

    The JET 10 x 15 is a benchtop wood lathe with a 10-inch swing over a cast iron bed and 15-1/2 inches between centers. Its main draw is electronic variable speed from 600 to 3600 rpm with a 1/2 hp brushed motor on standard 115 V power, so you can dial in speed for roughing or finishing without moving a belt. It is a compact lathe for small shops and turners working on bowls, spindles, pens and handles. Against belt-change mini lathes it trades top-end power for convenience, and it sits below full-size lathes in capacity and mass.

    Questions and answers

    Is the JET 10 x 15 good for beginners?
    Yes. Variable speed and a compact cast iron bed make it forgiving to learn on. Just keep blanks small, since the 1/2 hp motor struggles with big pieces.
    Can it turn large bowls?
    It swings 10 inches over the bed, so bowls up to about that diameter fit. The 1/2 hp motor limits you to smaller, balanced blanks rather than large green ones.
    Does it need a special circuit?
    No. It runs on 115 V and JET recommends a 10 A circuit. A standard household outlet works.
    What tapers does it use?
    Both the spindle and tailstock are MT2, the most common wood lathe taper. Standard MT2 drives, live centers and chucks fit.
    How does it compare with a belt-change mini lathe?
    You get dial-in speed instead of stopping to move a belt, plus a cast iron bed. You give up some power and capacity versus larger lathes.
    What comes in the box?
    The lathe itself with its bed, headstock, tailstock and tool rest. Chucks, centers and tools are usually sold separately, so check the listing for included accessories.
    Where is the JET 10-Inch x 15-Inch Variable Speed Lathe cheapest?
    At Home Depot, for $714.99, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the JET 10-Inch x 15-Inch Variable Speed Lathe?
