AP Range Wood Lathes

Most quality wood turning lathes on the market are either traditional designs for craft turning, or are aimed at small-scale production. These top quality machines are the best of both worlds, and will be an asset to any modern workshop. Constructed almost entirely from cast iron, the bed is wide and well braced. With heavy duty tool rests and a cast-iron stand, vibration simply isn’t an issue. With any turning project, speeds will be changed regularly with each stage of the process – often meaning a laborious belt change assistance from a teacher or technician. These machines are fitted with inverter controlled electronic variable speed with digital readout allowing speed to be fine-tuned while the machine is running. The headstock slides right along to the tailstock end of the bed and swivels through 360°, indexing at fixed intervals locked with a threaded pin. All this provides endless versatility for a wide variety of applications, and offers great improvements in ergonomic comfort for the user compared to traditional machines.
