The cast iron bed has a smooth ground surface allowing the banjo and tailstock to move easily along its length. The headstock can be rotated an impressive 360°, with 4 locking positions, allowing outboard turning. This is done easily and is an economical way to produce variable speed. While the motor is running, turn the handle, allowing the pulleys to separate giving a different belt ratio, therefore changing the speed of the spindle. The speed is variable via a split pulley system that allows the spindle to run between 500 to 2000 rpm. Perfect for the beginning or budget-conscious woodturner.
We have very few accessories for 1 inch by 10 TPI. We have many accessories for the more popular M30 spindle thread. An M30 thread spindle rather than the factory standard 1 inch by 10 TPI. An Aluminium finned motor body for better cooling over long periods of use.
While they raise the cost slightly they are well worth it This model has several Carbatec requested enhancements. * Split pulley system produces variable speed range
