Revolutionary DVR Direct Drive Motor
No more belts and pulleys! The Digital Variable Reluctance (DVR) motor provides unmatched smoothness, power, and efficiency, reducing vibration and delivering precision performance every time. This means cleaner cuts, less tool chatter, and a superior turning experience.
Adaptive Control Technology
This lathe thinks while you turn. The smart motor automatically adjusts power to maintain consistent speed, ensuring optimal cutting conditions regardless of wood density or tool pressure. No more sudden slowdowns or power drops—just seamless, controlled turning from start to finish.
Expansive Turning Capacity
Handle projects big or small with ease! The 16” inboard swing is perfect for bowls and platters, while the optional outrigger extends capacity up to 29” for large-scale turning. Plus, with 44” between centers, you can turn long spindles without compromise.
Precision Speed Control (100–5,000 RPM)
Dial in the exact speed you need with infinite variable speed control. Whether you’re roughing out a blank at low RPMs or fine-finishing a delicate detail at higher speeds, the Galaxi gives you total control for every stage of your work.
360° Swivel Headstock for Ultimate Flexibility
Position your work exactly how you want it! The fully rotating headstock allows for better ergonomics, easier access, and greater turning versatility. Combined with the optional Outrigger accessory, you can turn large pieces in a compact space without compromising stability.
High Torque at All Speeds
From the very first rotation, the Galaxi’s powerful motor delivers high torque, ensuring you never lose force—even at lower RPMs. This makes it ideal for large, unbalanced workpieces, minimizing stalling and maximizing efficiency.
Solid Cast Iron Build for Stability
Precision turning requires a stable foundation, and the Galaxi delivers. The heavy-duty, CAD-designed cast iron stand absorbs vibration and keeps your lathe steady, even when tackling heavy or unbalanced workpieces. Less vibration means better control and smoother finishes.
Favorite Speed Presets for Quick Setup
Save time with eight customizable speed presets that let you instantly switch to your most-used settings. Whether you’re roughing, shaping, detailing, or finishing, this feature lets you work faster and more efficiently without constantly adjusting dials.
Intelligent Safety Features
The electronic braking system brings your workpiece to a stop quickly and safely, eliminating the need for hand-stopping. Plus, built-in vibration and chisel jam sensors prevent damage to both your workpiece and lathe by shutting down the motor when necessary. Precision and safety go hand in hand.
Energy Efficient & Low Maintenance
The Galaxi’s smart motor only draws the power it needs, making it up to 50% more energy-efficient than traditional lathes. With no belts or brushes to wear out, it also requires minimal maintenance, so you can spend less time on upkeep and more time creating.
Make every turn count—with speed, control, and precision like never before!
