Built to a high standard and capable of taking a 400mm(16") diameter bowl and a bed long enough to turn a 1,060mm(42") long spindle. All the major castings are thick section cast iron which gives a very solid feel to the lathe and should guarantee vibration-free running. Power is provided by a 1,100W motor driving the spindle through a choice of two pairs of pulleys and controlled by a variable speed controller situated at the rear of the headstock. The low speed range gives plenty of torque for the big turning jobs whilst the high speed range gives the speed necessary for smaller components and for finishing. The front panel of the headstock, as well as housing the speed control knob, has a rpm indicator, a safety on/off knob, a reversing switch and the access panel for changing the belt position. Other features are the swivelling, lockable chuck guard, tool basket under the bed, provision for mounting a shelf on the stand, indexing facility and spring loaded shaft lock. Comes complete with four prong drive centre, revolving tail centre, 350mm toolrest, 150mm faceplate, indexing pin, centre knockout bar and comprehensive operating manual.
