The R5 lathe has variable speed control providing a speed range of 650 to 3800rpm, powered by an ultra quiet 550W motor that delivers full torque at all speeds. Whether bowl, platter or vase turning, pen turning or between centres work, the R5 lathe allows careful control of the speed to suit the workpiece, with the current speed clearly displayed on the digital readout.
Solid cast iron construction throughout ensures smooth operation and exceptionally low levels of vibration. The castings are CNC machined to exacting tolerances, ensuring perfect alignment of the headstock and tailstock and the smooth movement of the tool rest holder and tailstock along the length of the bed. The maximum working diameter is 305mm and the distance between centres is 457mm. The drive spindle is precisely aligned and runs in extra wide roller bearings to ensure class-leading concentricity. The drive spindle has a 1" x 8tpi thread with a No 2 morse taper for the fitting of industry standard chucks and attachments. The tailstock features a No 2 morse taper, for accepting live centres and drill chucks, and is hollowed out to accept drill bits for long hole boring.
The non-slip poly V belt ensures efficient power transmission and an incredibly smooth and quiet forward drive. The three-step pulleys provide 3 variable speed ranges of 650 to 1,450rpm, 1,250 to 2,800rpm and 1,600 to 3,800rpm, allowing you to select the correct speed to suit small, medium and large turnings. Belt adjustments are quick and easy, with the hinge-mounted control box swinging out of the way to provide full access to the motor pulley.
The 150mm tool rest is held firmly in the non-slip banjo and will not wander when roughing out or turning large bowls and platters. All banjo, tool rest and tailstock adjustments are made using ergonomic locking levers which can be positioned safely out of the way to prevent obstruction whilst turning. The R5 lathe comes complete with a revolving centre, four prong centre, face plate, knock out rod and spindle locking wrenches. Chuck not supplied. ©
