Description
This is an oddball lathe that seems to be assembled from a collection of parts from other lathes.
- The bed and legs are from a No:1642 16" electronic variable speed lathe.
- There was a dataplate on the legs to this effect, but ALL the information on it was wrong (swing, working length, speed control type, etc.) for our lathe configuration, so it was removed
- The headstock and tailstock are (we think) from a 1442 MECHANICAL variable speed lathe
- manual here: File:Jet 1442 lathe.pdf
- The tool rest is fairly large for the headstock height and ~probably~ originated with the 16" lathe parts
Status
It spins. Don't change the speed- the speed-change mechanism is broken and also jammed in place.

Intro to Woodturning by Brian Clifford
Personal Protective Equipment
- Face shield (not just safety glasses) must be worn.
- Long and loose hair must be contained.
- Do not wear gloves or loose clothing.
- Remove watches, rings, and other jewelry.
- Roll up or don't wear long sleeves.
- Dust protection may be required.
Pre-Operational Safety Checks
- Locate and ensure you are familiar with all machine operations and controls.
- Ensure all guards are fitted, secure and functional. Do not operate if guards are missing or faulty.
- Workpiece must be securely fastened to face plate, chuck or between centers.
- Rotate the workpiece by hand to check clearance between tool rest and bed.
- Ensure the cutting tools are sharp and in good condition.
- Start the dust extraction unit before using the machine.
- Make sure all clamping handles are tight.
Operational Safety Checks
- Adjust speed to suit the diameter of the work and turning operation (IMPORTANT - *never* adjust speed while the lathe is off!)
- Before making adjustments (apart from speed), switch off and bring the machine to a complete standstill.
- Keep the tool rest adjusted close to the work and at the correct height.
- Stop the lathe and remove all tool rests before sanding.
Ending Operations and Cleaning Up
- Switch off the machine when work completed.
- Return all chisels and other tools to racks.
- Leave the machine in a safe, clean and tidy state.
- Sweep or vacuum any wood debris/dust/shavings.
Potential Hazards and Injuries
- Eye injuries from flying debris or defective timber.
- Hair/clothing getting caught in moving machine parts.
- Airborne dust.
Do
- Rough cut the workpiece as close as possible to the finished shape before installing it.
- Check your workpiece for flaws, cracks, knots etc. and test glue joints before mounting the workpiece on machine.
- Use the lowest speed when starting a new workpiece.
Don't
- Drive the workpiece into the drive center while the drive center is in the headstock.
- Set the drive center into the workpiece with a soft mallet prior to installing it on the headstock.
- Touch your project by hand while the lathe is running
How To Get Certified
We try to say "authorized" now at PS:1 instead of "certified" for a few reasons we don't need to go into here ... there is a list of authorized proctors (trainers) at the top of this page. You can't become authorized from just any other member who knows how to use this, it's a dangerous piece of equipment and we're keeping the authorization process a little more formal because of that. Ask the area host for the wood shop, any volunteer authorizers for wood shop, or the people listed as authorized proctors about authorization.
