It's called the GHB1340. I take that to mean Geared Head Bench 13" x 40". It's supposed to be the largest bench lathe Jet made.
It does have the ability to remove the ways piece below the chuck to gain a bit more swing. Could probably swing 14" then.
The control layout works for me.
I remember running a French lathe years ago the the x & y travel handles were reversed from every other lathe I had ever run. It was a strong lathe with lots of HP, but just a PITA to operate.
