This machine is our offering as an entry point into Electronic Variable Speed woodturning, but don't let that lead you to believe it lacks features! We've packed as much as possible into this model for its price, representing exceptionally good value.

While compact in size, this machine's capacity is larger than many other benchtop units, offering a full 305mm (12") swing over the bed along with 530mm (21") between centres! That covers many craft projects, from bowls and platters of very decent size to chair legs, while pens and pepper mills are well covered. Table legs are covered via an optional bed extension, should that be your cup of tea.

This capacity is paired with a 950W motor (1-1/4HP)—the largest of any machine in its class! So you also have plenty of power behind you for whatever project you take on. That power is fed through an Electronic Variable Speed control with a Digital Readout for easy referencing and changing the speed according to need. The EVS system delivers speeds of 250 to 3450 RPM over two belt changes, which helps maintain torque at lower speeds.

Other standard features include Forward and Reverse capability, MT2 fittings including a supplied Live Centre and Drive Centre, an 80mm Faceplate, 200mm tool rest and a centre knock out bar are all included.

We've utilised the most common spindle thread for benchtop lathes of 1" x 8TPI, so you're never unable to purchase accessories, including chucks, where this thread is well and truly serviced.

All in all, a feature-rich, great-value machine that is an excellent entry into woodturning or an upgrade for those currently using smaller or belt change bench lathes.

Proudly brought to you from a name you can trust when it comes to woodworking - Carbatec.

Accessories we recommend you may want to pick up with your lathe. A set of tools is a must! Try our Cryogenic or TCT sets, found HERE. These represent very high quality for the price! To expand what you can do with your lathe, at some point, you'll want to buy a four-jaw self-centering chuck. We recommend the Nova Pro-Tek Series.

Looking for something a little more basic? Try our WL-B440H. What about something a little bigger? Try our Deluxe WL-B1420P - but there are plenty of larger floor model options, too!
