Wow now that is a machine if you get the whole outfit.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone.
The third store is in Graham, North Carolina, along I-40 in the Burlington area in that string of outlet malls. Easy access on and off the interstate, and the largest (in square footage) of the three stores. If you live east of the Mississippi River and order from Woodworker's, your order will be shipped from Graham--98 times out of 100.

the only problem i can see with this lathe is that it only goes down to 600rpm if you actualy had a peice that takes 4 people to hold and it wasnt round there is no way to rough it it would spin to fast and you couldnt get enough wieght to weigh it down

Wood in every shelf and nook and cranny,,, seriously too much wood!

I believe this is a 3-range variable speed.
The first belt position is any where from zero to 600. 600 is the top speed of the slow speed range for most torque.
The medium range is zero to 1200.
The high range is zero to 2000.
This lathe speed is designed for turning big. It lacks the super high speed 3000+ for small spindle turnings.

I have looked at them in the catalog and had lust in my heart.
I kind of like the color. That combination is pretty traditional for industrial machinery.
I haven't heard of many folks with them though.
I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.

They have a showroom just outside of Greensboro/Burlington, North Carolina. I've visited a couple of times. It is a monster of a lathe. They think quite a lot of the thing too. I haven't heard any reviews though.
