Product Details

The Nova Neptune Lathe brings full-size DVR performance to a compact benchtop machine. Powered by Striatech’s 1.5HP direct-drive digital motor, it delivers instant torque, ultra-smooth turning, and a broad variable speed range of 100–4,000 rpm — all without belts, pulleys, or power loss.

With a 360° swivelling headstock, fully sliding head, intelligent digital controls, and industry-leading safety features, the Neptune is engineered for serious woodturners who want precision, reliability, and modern technology in a space-efficient footprint.

Intelligent Digital Control:

The DVR system gives you coarse and fine speed adjustments, four programmable speed presets, and a large on-screen RPM display. With 24-position digital indexing, on-screen diagnostics, electronic brake assist, and an auto-shutdown chisel-jam sensor, you get safer, smarter turning with every project.

Performance & Convenience:

A robust 1-1/4" 8TPI spindle, 9" tool rest, 80mm faceplate, and #2MT drive and live centres provide versatile setup options. The direct-drive motor ensures consistent torque under load, while the safe startup speed ramp protects against heavy or unbalanced workpieces.

Warranty & Reliability:

Enjoy peace of mind with a 10-year digital motor warranty and 5-year coverage on electronics and mechanical components.

Built for power, accuracy, and efficiency, the Nova Neptune is more than a midi lathe — it’s a complete high-performance turning solution for any workshop.
