Powertool Direct

A heavy weight bench top lathe fitted with electronic variable speed. There are three speed ranges set by changing a drive belt on a pulley. The speed dial is then used to set the desired speed electronically. To ensure you always know what speed the lathe is running at, there is a large digital display showing the current RPM. (mains powered, no batteries required).

The bed of the lathe is precision ground cast iron giving 15" between centres and a maximum bowl turning capacity of 12". The tool rest is a cam-lock design for rapid adjustments with all metal components. The headstock and tailstock are both hollow centred to allow for tool removal and long hole boring.

The optional Extension bed simply bolts onto the main bed and extends the distance between centres to 1000mm (39") Ideal for turners who only occasionaly need that extra length but need a compact machine which can be moved around the workshop when not in use.
