Frequently Asked Questions:
What are some of the key features of wood lathes?
- Swing over bed: The maximum diameter of a workpiece that can clear the lathe bed as it spins; it limits how big a bowl or form you can turn.
- Distance between centers: The maximum length of a workpiece you can mount between the headstock and tailstock.
- Swing over tool rest base: This is the maximum diameter of a workpiece that can be turned above the tool rest on a lathe.
- Spindle thread type and taper: The thread type/size determines what accessories will fit your lathe, and the taper holds the tools securely in the spindle or tailstock.
What is the benefit of variable speed on a wood lathe?
The greatest benefit of variable speed is effortless control over workpiece rotation to ensure the highest quality results for every project. Large or heavy blanks require slower speeds to avoid vibration, while small pieces can be turned at faster speeds for smooth cuts. Different material types also require different speeds for the best cuts and finish. With the ability to adjust the speed whenever needed you can minimize tearout on even the most intricate details.
