Carbatec WL-900H 560W 900mm (35-1/2") Economy Variable Speed Wood Lathe

Carbatec WL-900H 560W 900mm (35-1/2") Economy Variable Speed Wood Lathe

This great entry level, full sized lathe has several Carbatec enhancements over the standard factory model. The Aluminium finned motor runs cooler over longer periods compared to a standard non-finned motor and our widely accepted 30x 3.5mm thread spindle size is 40% larger in cross section than the standard factory 1"x 10 TPI. Most of our lathes and accessories utilise this heavier 30x 3.5mm spindle thread size, or larger.

The speed is variable via a split pulley system that allows the spindle to run between 500 to 2000 rpm. While the motor is running, turn the handle, allowing the pulleys to separate giving a different belt ratio, therefore changing the speed of the spindle. This is done easily and is an economical way to produce variable speed. The headstock can be rotated an impressive 360°, with 4 locking positions, allowing outboard turning. The cast iron bed has a smooth ground surface allowing the banjo and tailstock to move easily along its length. For outboard turning you will need to reposition the banjo and tool rest accordingly. 

Both the headstock and tailstock have a No. 2 morse taper, allowing popular turning accessories to be used. 

This unit also includes pressed metal legs with pressed metal tool tray, 300mm tool rest with two piece articulated banjo, face plate, drive centre, revolving centre and hollow tailstock. All the kit you need to get started in the rewarding hobby of woodturning. A reliable motor is supplied with alloy-constructed cooling fins to provide cooler running.

Perfect for the beginning or budget-conscious woodturner.
