Pathfinder Woodturning Lathe - Record Power

Pathfinder Cast Iron Electronic Variable Speed Lathe

The Pathfinder is the ideal starter lathe that delivers the motor capacity and torque of a larger machine in compact format. Perfect for turning small-scale, intricate items such as pens and rings, Pathfinder can be bench mounted, saving valuable workshop space or positioned on the optional leg stand for easy access and positioning.

Ergonomic Index Pin

Precise, intuitive indexing is enabled by the knurled ergonomic index pin, positioned for clear access and positive finger grip.

Heavy-Duty Headstock Bearings

The 6205 heavy-duty bearings at both ends of the headstock deliver maximum support and stability for smooth turning.

Easy Belt Access

The ergonomically designed belt cover moulding features a handy lip for easy gripping, making adjustments quick and easy.

Powerful Brushless Motor

The brushless ¾ HP output motor on the Pathfinder delivers powerful, adjustable torque across a three-pulley speed range. Quiet and dependable in operation, the electronic variable speeds range from 250–3200 RPM, allowing precise performance tuning for every task.

M33 Thread and 2 Morse Taper

M33 thread and 2 morse taper provides standard UK/European compatibility and works seamlessly with all Record Power accessories, including the UK-made Hawk and Falcon centres.

Self-Ejecting Tailstock with 92 mm Travel

The self-ejecting tailstock makes centre removal quick and easy, with no knocking bar required, while its generous 92 mm travel allows deep hole boring, supports longer workpieces, improves tool clearance, and simplifies accessory changes.

Repositionable Magnetic Switch Box

The repositionable magnetic switch box lets you place controls where needed, keeping the E-Stop easily accessible for safe, convenient operation.

Reverse Turning

Better sanding finishes, easier hollowing and improved visibility can all be accomplished by running the lathe in reverse. Always ensure your chuck is securely locked to the spindle when using this feature.

Toolrest Banjo and Tailstock Camlock

The camlock allows quick, secure locking and easy positioning of both the tool rest and tailstock on the lathe bed.

24–Point Indexing

Easily create evenly spaced design elements like flutes, coves, beads, or decorative lines with 24-point indexing for precise, repeatable results.

Precision Machined Cast Iron Lathe Bed

The precision-machined cast iron lathe bed provides excellent stability and rigidity, reducing vibration and ensuring smooth, accurate tailstock movement.

Optional 14050 Bed Extension (15")

Increase turning capacity and maintain stability without extra leg support, with the optional 15″ Pathfinder bed extension.

Optional Adjustable Stand

A height adjustable stand is available as an option which is useful to change the height of the lathe up or down.
