Variable Speed Control with Digital Readout
The lathe features variable speed adjustment with a clear digital readout, allowing you to dial in exact RPM for different turning tasks. Speed changes stay controlled and visible, helping maintain consistent cuts across varying diameters and materials.
24-Position Indexing for Repeatable Work
Integrated indexing provides 24 locking positions, making it easier to repeat patterns and perform detailed layout work. This helps maintain accuracy without relying on manual marking or guesswork.
Forward and Reverse for Smoother Finishing
The ability to switch between forward and reverse rotation allows for cleaner finishing cuts and improved sanding results. Transitions remain smooth, reducing stress on both the workpiece and the tool.
Ratchet-Style Belt Tensioning System
The belt tension system simplifies speed range changes while maintaining proper belt tension. Adjustments are quick and consistent, helping the lathe run smoothly without unnecessary downtime.
Spring-Loaded Spindle Lock for Fast Adjustments
The spindle lock engages quickly for tool changes, accessory swaps, and setup adjustments. This reduces interruption during workflow and keeps operations efficient.
Compact Steel Frame with Shop Stability
The solid steel construction provides a stable platform for turning while maintaining a compact footprint. This allows the lathe to fit comfortably in smaller shops without sacrificing performance.
