This small bench-top lathe is ideal for pen making. It also has the capacity to turn bowls up to 8"(200mm) in diameter and the between centre distance is 12"(305mm) Spindle thread is the standard 1" x 8tpi so a small chuck can also be fitted to it. We recommend that you use the Jet chuck which is 65mm in diameter. Any chuck bigger than that may put unnecessary strain on the head-stock bearings. The head-stock and tail-stock both have a no 1 morse taper hole, so attachments like head-stock and tail-stock centers must all be no 1 MT. The electronically variable speed is adjusted by means of a pod on the front of the lathe so it will also be an ideal lathe for model makers and the like. It is supplied without a stand and can be mounted on any sturdy table. Accessories include a tool rest, a small face-plate as well as drive-and-tail-stock centers.

On this mini sized Toolmate wood lathe you will be able to turn bowls of up to 10"(250mm) dia and table legs up to 18"(450mm) long. The five speeds range from 500 to 3150 RPM and is easily adjustable via belt changes. The tail-stock is also hollow, which will enable the operator to drill holes right through objects like lamp stands etc. The lathe is also easily transportable which makes it the ideal machine to take to shows. The 2 MT in the head and tail-stock will also accommodate attachments like pen mandrills, chucks etc. It is sold without a stand so any sturdy table will serve as a stand.(clamp or screw down to comply to safety rules)
