Axminster Professional AP350WL Woodturning Lathe Package (ASR Safety)

The AP350WL features electronic variable speed enabling you to fine tune the speed to suit delicate work, larger diameters or out of balance work. A three step poly-V pulley system allows three speed ranges which coupled with the load sensing inverter ensure maximum torque and stable spindle speeds. The magnetic backed switch unit can be placed on any convenient position on the lathe bed or headstock. It incorporates on/off buttons, a speed control knob and forward and reverse switch. There is an LED digital read-out of the spindle speed in RPM. The swing over the bed is 350mm and with the extension fitted, the between centres measurement rises to 680mm. The spindle features 24 division indexing. The lathe features an M33 x 3.5mm (ASR) spindle. All standard M33 x 3.5mm threaded chucks and fitments can be used as normal. The ASR spindle includes a safety groove. This is an additional safety feature designed to be used in conjunction with fitment with a matching ASR safety groove and a locking ring. This arrangement ensures complete safety when the lathe is running in reverse and is not necessary for general turning. The addition of the floor stand means you won’t have to sacrifice precious bench space and can site the lathe anywhere in your workshop. The stand is adjustable in height from 610mm-875mm, enabling you to set it at a comfortable working height. The feet are splayed to give plenty of foot space, and fitted with rubber feet which are adjustable to accommodate an uneven workshop floor. Supplied with four prong Axminster drive centre, Axminster revolving tailstock centre, 75mm faceplate and a knock-out bar.
