JET EVS-1440B Electronic Variable Speed Metal Lathe
The JET EVS-1440B lathe combines precision machining capabilities, electronic variable spindle speed control, and heavy-duty industrial construction for professional metalworking applications. Designed for machine shops, toolrooms, repair facilities, and maintenance departments, this 14″ x 40″ metal lathe provides the versatility required for turning, facing, boring, drilling, threading, and general machining operations.
Powered by a 3 HP, 230V three-phase motor, the EVS-1440B provides electronically controlled spindle speeds ranging from 40 to 2,000 RPM. Electronic variable speed control allows operators to adjust cutting speeds for different workpiece materials, tooling, and machining requirements without relying solely on fixed mechanical speed selections.
With a 14″ swing over the bed and 40″ distance between centers, the machine accommodates a variety of workpieces, including shafts, bushings, threaded components, and precision-machined replacement parts. Its 1-9/16″ spindle bore allows compatible bar stock to pass through the headstock for efficient machining.
The JET EVS-1440B lathe features a D1-4 camlock spindle mount, an MT5 spindle taper with sleeve, and an MT3 tailstock taper. These specifications provide compatibility with appropriately sized chucks, centers, drill chucks, and other turning accessories.
Industrial-grade construction, vibration-dampening Meehanite support castings, and hardened thread-cutting gears help provide the rigidity, durability, and repeatable performance required for demanding machining environments.
