Carbatec Economy Mini Lathe

We're proud to say that we introduced the Mini lathe into the Australian market back in the early 90's, offering Australian hobbyists a chance to experience the versatility and functionality of a wood lathe in a small, affordable package. This machine carries on that tradition and represents an economical entry point into the art of woodturning. 

Today there are dozens of options when looking at mini or midi lathes. This machine is a small, great value lathe without the bells and whistles - instead, focusing on the core ingredients required. You'll find five spindle speeds available via a belt change pulley system, perfect for tackling those small to medium jobs. 

The headstock, bed and tailstock are constructed of cast iron and the 1/2 HP induction motor has more than enough power for projects like pen turning and small spindle turning. 

It is ideally suited for the beginner or as a lathe which can be transported more easily due to its lighter weight and compact size. The package includes a drive centre, revolving tailstock (live) centre, a toolrest and 80mm diameter faceplate.

A range of accessories are available such as en Extension Bed, stand, a wide variety of woodturning chisels, chucks and more.
