About the Variable Speed Benchtop Lathe
JET 1440VS 14" x 40" Benchtop Wood Lathe
Are you losing time resetting your lathe every time a project calls for a different technique or turning angle?
What if your lathe could move with you, locking into position exactly where you need it so you can stay focused on the work?
Meet the JET 1440VS 14" x 40" Benchtop Wood Lathe, a variable speed benchtop lathe built for turners who need flexibility and consistent control across a range of project sizes.
With the JWL-1440VS, a sliding and pivoting headstock, cast iron bed, and variable speed drive give you the setup versatility and steady performance to take on a wide variety of turning work.
When you sit down at this machine, you get a lathe that holds its position, reads out your speed, and keeps your hands where they belong — on the turning.
JET 1440VS for Versatile Benchtop Turning Work
Sliding and Pivoting Headstock Expands Turning Options
The headstock slides along the bed and pivots a full 360 degrees with seven positive locking positions at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, and 270 degrees. This lets you shift between spindle turning, outboard turning, and bowl work without removing the headstock or improvising a workaround. Each position locks solidly so the headstock stays put while you work.
Variable Speed Control Matches RPM to the Work
The JWL-1440VS runs from 400 to 3000 RPM with continuous variable speed adjustment. An easy-to-read RPM display lets you dial in the right speed for your stock and tool without guessing. Whether you are roughing down a blank or finishing a detail pass, you set the speed to match the cut rather than working around fixed steps.
