Description:
Jet 1642 electronic variable speed lathe.
Pro standard lathe with good weight for large turning stability but fine control for delicate items.
Works on 230V from an ordinary 13 amp socket but the motor is three phase operated though an inverter to give full electronic speed control and maximum power.
M33 x 3.5 thread.
MT2 tapers.
Swing 16 inch 400mm x 42 inch 1090mm centre distance.
1½ HP motor.
Indexed spindle lock. 36 x 10 degree.
Tailstock travel, 100mm with gauge.
Two mechanical speed and infinitely variable electronic speed control through an inverter.
Speed ranges 0-1200 rpm in lower range and 0-3200 rpm in upper range.
With cast iron legs.
Includes rest as shown drive centre, live centre, knock out bar, Tool basket assembly, Guard assembly, Jet Printed Manual.

Dimensions:
Bed length, 1445mm
Width, 600mm
Height, 1200mm
Centre above floor, 1130mm
Total weight with legs, 190kg.

Comments:
All in excellent working order, no known problems.
This is an excellent lathe with plenty of power for large items and excellent accuracy and control for small ones.
Paintwork, some stains from original owner and some chips. See photos.
Motor is smooth running and nice and quiet.
More photos, videos or info available on request.
I've only used the guard once and never used the tool basket but they're there if you want them.
Can be taken to pieces and transported in a hatchback. I managed to install it on my own but it would be easier to do it with two people.

Best offer around £950


Might be able to help with delivery from Hampshire

You need to read the for sale forum requirements.
Sticky post at the top of the sub forum.
A fixed price is required.
I'll leave this in place to the end of today while you amend your first post.

Hi,
Does this have a swivel headstock and an indexing ring?
I'm interested in coming to view the lathe, I live near Salisbury so only about an hour from you.
Many thanks
Stuart
 
Replied via Messenger but, to clarify:

Yes to the built in indexing, 36 x 10 degrees plus other intermediates. Photo of instructions attached.

No to the swivelling headstock - you can just run the head to the end of the bed and hang it off the end. However, I've always found the 40cm diameter to be more than enough.
