must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in
Figure B.
Grounding Instructions
This tool must be grounded
while in use to protect the operator from
electric shock.
The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. However, if you must use one
make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. Be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your machine will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in the line
voltage resulting in power loss and overheating.
The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on the cord length needed and the
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a
matching outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal.

Not Recommended
230 Volt Operation
If 230V, single-phase operation is desired, the
following instructions must be followed:
1. Disconnect the machine from the power
source.
2. This lathe is supplied with four motor leads
that are connected for 115V operation, as
shown in Figure A. Reconnect these four
motor leads for 230V operation, as shown in
Figure B.
2. The 115V attachment plug (A), supplied with
the lathe, must be replaced with a UL/CSA
listed plug suitable for 230V operation (D).
Contact your local Authorized Service Center
or qualified electrician for proper procedures
to install the plug. The lathe must comply with
all local and national codes after the 230-volt
plug is installed.
3. The lathe with a 230 volt plug should only be
connected configuration (D). No adapter is
available or should be used with the 230-volt
plug.
Important: In all cases (115 or 230 volts), make
certain the receptacle in question is properly
grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered
electrician check the receptacle.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only
three wire extension cords that have three-prong
grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug.
Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately.
115 Volt Operation
As received from the factory, your sander is
ready to run at 115-volt operation. This sander,
when wired for 115 volts, is intended for use on
a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks
the one illustrated in Figure A. A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter as
illustrated in Figure B, may be used to connect
this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in
Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not
available.
The temporary adapter should only be used until
a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. This adapter is not
applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid
ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter,

1. With a ruler locate and mark the center on each
end by going corner to corner, see Figure 12.
Accuracy is not critical on full rounds but
extremely important on stock where square
sections are to remain. Put a dimple in each
end of the stock with an awl or nail.
Lathe Tools
If possible, select only high quality, high speed
steel turning tools with long handles. As one
becomes proficient in turning, a variety of specialty
tools for specific applications can be acquired. The
following tools provide the basics for most
woodturning projects.
2. Extremely hard woods may require kerfs cut
into the spur drive end of stock, see Figure 12.
You may need to drive the spur center into the
stock with a wood mallet. Note: Never drive
stock onto spur while it is mounted in the lathe
spindle.
Roughing Gouge — used for rapidly cut raw wood
into round stock, see Figure 10.
Deep Fluted Bowl Gouge — used for turning
bowls and plates, see Figure 10.
3. Install workpiece by inserting the attached spur
center into the spindle taper on the headstock.
4. Bring tailstock into position, lock it to the bed,
and advance quill with the handwheel in order
to seat the live center into the workpiece. Lock
the quill in place. Make sure the live center
point is centered on your mark.
Spindle Gouge — used for turning beads, coves
and other details, see Figure 10.
Spear — fine scraping and delicate operations,
such as the forming of beads, parallel grooves and
shallow vees, etc, see Figure 10.
5. Move tool rest into position. It should be
parallel to workpiece, approximately at the
centerline, and approximately 1/8" from the
closest part of the workpiece. Lock tool rest
body and tool rest in place.
6. Rotate workpiece by hand to check for proper
clearance from tool rest. Note: You may want
to trim off the corners of a square workpiece to
make turning a little easier.
Figure 10
7. Start lathe at lowest speed and bring it up to
the appropriate RPM for the size of stock, see
Figure 6 page 11.
Skew — used to make vees, beads, etc., see
Figure 11.
Square Scraper — used for diameter scraping and
featureless scraping, etc, see Figure 11.
The position of the tool rest can be varied to suit
the work and operator. After you become
experienced with setting tool rest changing the
position will become second nature for the
workpiece and comfort of the user.
Large Domed Scraper — used to reduce ridges
on the interior of bowls, round edges of bowls, etc,
see Figure 11.
Parting Tool — used to cut directly into the
material, or to make a cut off. Also used for
scraping and to set diameters, see Figure 11.
For safety and best performance, keep tools
sharp. If a tool stops cutting, or requires excessive
pressure to make a cut, it needs to be sharpened.
A number of brand name sharpening jigs and
fixtures are available, however, a wood turner
should learn to sharpen tools freehand.
Figure 11
Mounting Workpiece Between Centers
Spindle turning takes place between the centers of
the lathe. It requires a spur center in the headstock
and a live center in the tailstock.

Operations
Stock Selection
Stock for spindles should be straight grained and
free of checks, cracks, knots and other defects. It
should be cut 1/8" to 1/4" larger than the finished
diameter and may require additional length to
remove ends if required. Larger stock should have
the corners removed to produce an octagon
making the piece easier to rough down to a
cylinder, see Figure 13.
Roughing Out
1. Use a large roughing gouge and begin cutting
about 2” from the tailstock end of the
workpiece. Place the tool on the tool rest with
the heel of the tool on the surface to be cut.
Figure 13
2. Slowly and gently raise tool handle until cutting
edge comes into contact with the workpiece.
Work to the right towards the end of the
workpiece. You never want to start at the end
of a workpiece.
3. Now continue to work the rest of the workpiece.
Roll the flute (hollowed-out portion) of the tool
in the direction of the cut, see Figure 14. Make
long sweeping cuts in a continuous motion to
rough the piece down to a cylinder. Keep as
much of the bevel of the tool as possible in
contact with the workpiece to ensure control
and avoid catches.
Figure 14
Note: Always cut downhill, or from large
diameter to small diameter. Always work
toward the end of a workpiece, never start
cutting at the end.
4. Once the workpiece is roughed down to a
cylinder, smooth it with a large skew. Place the
cutting point near the center of the chisel and
high on the workpiece, see Figure 15. Touching
one of the points of the skew to the spinning
workpiece may cause a catch and ruin the
workpiece.
5. Add details to the workpiece with skew, spindle
gouge, etc.

Beads
Parting
1. Place the parting tool on the tool rest and move
the tool forward to make the full bevel of the
tool contact the workpiece. Gently raise handle
to make cut to the appropriate depth.
Place parting tool on tool rest and raise the handle
until it starts to cut and continue to cut to the
desired depth.
If the cut is deep a clearance cut should be made
alongside the first cut to prevent the tool tip from
2. Repeat for other side of the bead.
3. Using a small skew or spindle gouge, start in burning.
the center between the two cuts and cut down
each side to form the bead. Roll the tool in
direction of cut.
Coves
1. Use a spindle gouge. With the flute of the tool
at 90 degrees to the workpiece, touch the
center of the cutting edge to the workpiece and
roll in towards the bottom of the cove. Stop at
the bottom; attempting to go up the opposite
side may cause the tool to catch.
Figure 16
2. Move the tool over the desired width of the
cove.
3. With the flute facing the opposite direction,
repeat step 1 for other side of cove. Stop at
bottom of cut.
“V” Cuts
1. Use the long point of the skew. Note: Do not
press the long point of the skew directly into the
workpiece to create the "V"; this will result in a
burned or burnished "V" with fibers being rolled
up at both sides.
Figure 17
2. Lightly mark the center of the "V" with the tip of
the skew.
3. Move the point of the skew to the right half of
the desired width of your cut.
4. With the bevel parallel to the right side of the
cut, raise the handle and push the tool in to the
desired depth.
5. Repeat from the left side. The two cuts should
meet at the bottom and leave a clean "V" cut.
6. Additional cuts may be taken to add to either
the depth or width of the cut.

Sanding and Finishing
Leaving clean cuts will reduce the amount of
sanding required. Begin with a fine sandpaper (120
grit or finer). Coarser sandpaper will leave deep
scratches that are difficult to remove, and dull crisp
details. Fold the sandpaper into a pad; do not wrap
sandpaper around your fingers or the workpiece.
To apply a finish, the workpiece can be left on the
lathe. Turn off lathe and use a brush, or cloth to
apply the finish. Remove excess finish before
restarting lathe. Allow drying and sanding again
with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper. Apply additional
coats of finish and buff.
Figure 19
Face Plate and Bowl Turning
Face plate turning is normally done on the inboard
side of the headstock over the bed see Figure 19.
You must pivot the headstock 180° for larger
workpieces.
Mounting Stock
Use of a face plate is the most common method for
holding a block of wood for turning bowls, and
plates.
1. Select stock at least 1/8" to 1/4" larger than the
dimension on the desired finished workpiece.
2. True one surface of the workpiece for mounting
against the face plate. It is best to leave extra
stock against the faceplate that can be cut off
when the workpiece is finished.
3. Using the faceplate as a template, mark the
location of the mounting holes, and drill pilot
holes of the appropriate size. If the mounting
screws on the faceplate interfere with the
workpiece, a waste block can be mounted to
the faceplate and then the waste block
mounted to the workpiece by gluing or screw-
ing, see Figure 20.
Figure 20
4. Both waste block and workpiece should have
good flat surfaces.
5. Push in on the spindle lock and thread face
plate and workpiece onto the spindle. Tighten
setscrews in the faceplate when secure.

Face Plate or Chuck
Tools for Bowl Turning
While faceplates are the simplest, most reliable The deep fluted bowl gouge is the most essential
method of holding a block of wood for turning, and versatile tool for most bowl and faceplate style
chucks can also be used. A chuck is not a turning. The bowl gouge is heavier and easier to
requirement but is handy when working on more control than other types of gouges. It also allows
than one piece at a time. Rather than removing removal of wood much faster and with less
screws, you simply open the chuck and change vibration than other gouges. Most average sized
workpieces. The most popular ones are four jaw bowl work can be accomplished with a 3/8" or 1/2"
scroll chucks with
a
variety of jaws to bowl gouge. A 1/4" bowl gouge is best suited for
accommodate different size tenons. Most also smaller bowls and light finishing cuts. Larger 3/4"
come with a screw chuck as well.
and 1" bowl gouges are only used for extremely
large pieces.
Wood Selection
Large domed scrapers can also be used to help
clean up the interior surfaces of bowls. A light touch
with the scraper slightly tilted will eliminate some of
the ridges left by a bowl gouge.
Firewood is the cheapest, most widely available
stock to use while learning to turn bowls. Develop
skill with each tool before attempting to make a
finished piece. It is best to start with dry wood,
without worrying about drying or distortion. Once
turning becomes comfortable, try green wood,
which cuts very easily. As the turner gains
experience, he or she will find extraordinary grain
and figure in the form of burls, crotches and bark
inclusions.
Checks and Cracks
Green wood will check and crack. For best results,
leave logs in as long lengths as you can handle. As
the material starts to dry, surface cracks will
develop on the ends of the log. Cut off two to three
inches and you should find good, sound wood.
Also, cut the log in half along the pith to avoid
having it in the finished piece. Most checks radiate
from the pith. As you turn bowls from green wood,
make sure you maintain a consistent wall thickness
throughout the piece. Leaving a piece thick in some
areas and thin in others will cause the wood to dry
unevenly and promote checks and cracks.
Distortion
Distortion is a problem associated with turning
green wood. It will vary from one type of wood to
the next. Typically, fruitwoods tend to distort more
than others do. It also varies with the time of year
the tree was cut and how the logs are stored.

To Shape the Outside of a Bowl
Odd shaped burls, crotches and other irregular
shaped blanks require special preparation before
mounting in a chuck, or onto a faceplate.
1. Remove the bark, if there is any, from what
appears to be the center of the top of
workpiece.
2. Drive the spur center into the top of the
workpiece with a wood mallet.
3. Slip the spur center into the headstock taper
and bring the tailstock, with a live center, into
position. Lock the tailstock to the bed and
advance the spindle in order to seat the cup
center into workpiece, see Figure 21. Tighten
the quill lock.
4. Position the tool support below the centerline
and about 1/4" from the workpiece. Note: For
larger outboard turning, an optional outboard
turning stand is used to place the tool support,
see your JET distributor.
5. Turn the workpiece by hand to ensure proper
clearance.
6. Start the lathe at the lowest speed and bring it
up to the maximum safe speed for the size of
work to be turned, see Figure 6 on page 11. If
the machine starts to vibrate, lower the speed
until the vibration stops.
7. Rough out the outside of the bowl with the 1/2"
deep fluted bowl gouge, holding the tool firmly
against your hip. For best control, use your
whole body to move the gouge through the
workpiece.
Figure 21
8. As the bowl takes shape, work on the bottom
(tailstock end) to accommodate attaching a
face plate, see Figure 21.
9. Turn a short tenon (about 1/8" long) the size of
the hole in the faceplate, see Figure 21. This
will allow centering the workpiece when the
faceplate is attached. Note: If you plan to use a
chuck, turn a tenon of appropriate length and
diameter to fit your chuck.
10. Stop the lathe, remove the workpiece and
attach the face plate, or chuck.
11. Finish turning the outside of the bowl with 1/2"
or 3/8" bowl gouge. Leave additional material at
the base of the bowl for support while turning
the interior. This will be removed later.

To Shape the Interior of a Bowl
Sanding and Finishing a Bowl
1. Stop the lathe and move the tailstock away. 1. Remove the tool rest and begin with a fine grit
Remove the center from the tailstock to prevent
bumping it with your elbow.
sandpaper (120 grit) and progress through
each grit, using only light pressure.
2. Adjust the tool support in front of the bowl just
below the centerline, at a right angle to the
lathe bed.
Coarser sandpaper tends to leave deep
scratches that are hard to eliminate. Use
power-sanding techniques to avoid concentric
sanding marks around your finished piece.
Avoid rounding over the rim and foot with
sandpaper. Try to keep the details crisp. Finish
sanding with 220 grit.
3. Rotate the workpiece by hand to check the
clearance.
4. Face off the top of the bowl by making a light
shearing cut across the workpiece, from rim to
center.
2. Remove sanding dust with tack rags, or
compressed air and, with the lathe turned off,
apply the first coat of finish. Let it stand for
several minutes and wipe off the excess. Allow
it to dry before sanding again with 320 or 400
grit sandpaper.
5. Place the 1/2" bowl gouge on the tool rest at
the center of the workpiece with the flute facing
the top of the bowl. The tool handle should be
level and pointed toward four o'clock, see
Figure 22.
3. Turn lathe back on and make a separation cut
through the base. Stop at about 3" and use a
small fine tooth saw to separate the bowl from
the waste.
6. Use your left hand to control the cutting edge of
the gouge, while your right hand swings the
tool handle around towards your body, see
Figure 22.
4. Apply additional finish coats and allow to dry
before buffing.
The flute should start out facing the top of the
workpiece, and rotate upward as it moves
deeper into the bowl to maintain a clean even
curve.
As the tool goes deeper into bowl,
progressively work out toward the rim. It may
be necessary to turn the tool rest into the
workpiece, as you get deeper into the bowl.
Note: Try to make one, very light continuous
movement from the rim to the bottom of the
bowl to ensure a clean, sweeping curve
through the workpiece. Should there be a few
small ridges remaining, a light cut with a large
domed scraper can even out the surface.
7. Develop the wall thickness at the rim and
maintain it as you work deeper into the bowl.
When the interior is finished, move the tool
support to the exterior to re-define the bottom
of the bowl. General rule of thumb: the base
should be approximately 1/3 the overall
diameter of the bowl.
Figure 22
8. Work the tight area around the faceplate or
chuck with 1/4" bowl gouge.

Adjustments
Adjusting the Clamping Mechanism
The clamps are pre-set at the factory and should
not need any adjustment. However, if adjustment is
needed, remove the stud (A, Fig. 23). Loosen the
locking handle and slide the headstock, tailstock or
tool rest to the edge of the bed and slightly turn the
hex nut (B, Fig. 23). Slide back into position and
test the handle to make sure it securely locks.
Changing the Belt and Bearings
Changing belt and bearings can be a difficult task,
and should be performed by a JET authorized
repair station. Remove headstock and take into a
repair station for servicing.
Figure 23
1. Place the belt in its highest speed range. Do
not change speeds while changing the belt or
bearings.
2. Remove the belt cover, and remove the belt
from the lower pulley, see Figure 24.
3. Loosen the two setscrews in the handwheel
enough to unthread the handwheel (C, Fig. 24).
4. Loosen the socket head cap screw enough to
unthread the clamping nut (D, Fig. 24).
5. Remove one e-ring (E, Fig. 24) from spindle.
6. Loosen the two setscrews in the right hand
pulley (F, Fig. 24).
7. Use a wood dowel, or aluminum stock to knock
the spindle towards the tailstock. Use a
material that is softer than the spindle so you
do not mushroom the end of the spindle. Go
only far enough to remove the right hand pulley
and belt from spindle, see Figure 25 when
changing the belt. Note: Mark the key way on
the pulley for easy reference when
reassembling.
Figure 24
8. Now you can replace the belt or bearings.
There are three bearings #6, 9 and 43 that can
be seen in the “Headstock Assembly,” on
page 25.
9. To reassemble reverse the procedure. Note:
Key way alignment is critical for installment and
proper operation. Do not force the pulley. When
reinstalling clamping nut thread it on to the
spindle until its snug. Then back off slightly and
tighten the socket head cap screw.

Optional Accessories
Safety Guard
The JWL-1442VS Safety Guard is an optional
accessory.
Referring to Figure 26:
1. Mount the guard bracket (A) to the headstock
with two 3/8” flat washers, two 3/8” lock
washers and two 3/8”-16 x 1-1/2” socket head
cap screws (B).
2. Attach the guard (C) to the guard bracket by
inserting the rod and lifting up on the plunger
(D).
3. There are two detents that will hold the guard in
place. One is for turning and the other is for
when you need the guard up and out of the
way. Simply lift up on the plunger and rotate
the guard until the plunger slips into the detent.
Figure 26
Tighten the bushings (E) against the bracket with
two setscrews (F).
Tool Basket
Referring to Figure 27:
1. Mount the bracket (A) to the inside of the lathe
leg with two 5/16”-18 x 1-1/2” Hex Socket Cap
Screws, four 5/16” flat washers and two 5/16”
hex nuts (B).
2. The two setscrews, on the bracket should be
below the bolts and accessible for adjustment.
3. Place the arm of the tool basket into the
bracket and tighten with a 5/16”-18 x 5/8” set
screw and a 5/16” hex nut (C). Line up the
notch in the arm with the setscrews so the tool
basket can pivot.
4. Adjust the set screws on the bracket so that the
tool basket swings in a level manner. Tighten
the two hex socket cap screws.

Appendix – Indexer Positions
How to use the chart
A diagram of the indexer is shown at right, as
viewed from the tailstock end of the Lathe.
Points A, B and C are the holes in the head
casting. The holes in the spindle collar may be
considered as numbered 1 through 12.
Example: You wish to rout 9 flutes on your
spindle blank. Locate the “9” in the “No. of
Flutes” column; each flute angle will be 40°. The
index pin should first be inserted into hole
combination “A-1”. Make your first flute at this
position. Back off the index pin and rotate the
spindle until the index pin can be inserted into
hole combination “A-5”; this will be followed by
“A-9”. Succeeding flutes will be made with the
index pin in the B position: “B-3”, “B-7” and so
on
