At the touch of a switch, the upper bed moves smoothly away from the headstock, increasing the between centres capacity from \u003cstrong\u003e508 mm to 1,016 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. This eliminates the need for manual lifting or repositioning, allowing seamless transitions between compact setups for bowl turning and extended configurations for long spindle work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sliding bed does more than extend length. As it moves, it also increases the turning capacity across the lower bed, expanding the swing from \u003cstrong\u003e590 mm to 793 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. This makes the lathe ideal for large bowls, platters, and more unusual forms, while maintaining excellent tool access and stability, without the need for outboard attachments. In addition, \u003cstrong\u003e36-position indexing\u003c\/strong\u003e supports decorative and segmented turning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA powerful \u003cstrong\u003e3 HP (2.2 kW) inverter driven motor\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers consistent torque across the full speed range, including at low speeds, ensuring smooth performance in all conditions. Electronic variable speed control, combined with three belt stages, allows precise adjustment for both delicate work and larger, out-of-balance pieces. Speed ranges include 20–650, 50–1,750, and 100–3,850 rpm, with a \u003cstrong\u003edigital RPM display\u003c\/strong\u003e for accurate, repeatable settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor added convenience, the \u003cstrong\u003emagnetic control unit\u003c\/strong\u003e can be positioned anywhere on the lathe bed or headstock. It features clearly arranged on\/off buttons, a speed control dial, and a forward\/reverse switch, allowing easy operation from wherever you are working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eextra wide cast iron banjo\u003c\/strong\u003e and tool rest system provides excellent support, even when using larger tools.
