Rikon VSR Lathe, 8" x 24", 2.5 HP

Description

Uses an inverter to control the motor’s operating efficiency and speed, and regulates torque to give you the consistency needed when turning projects. Constructed of heavy cast iron, the bed, classically shaped legs, headstock, tailstock, and tool rest assembly provide over 370 pounds of stability when turning. The large 2.5HP 230V motor gives the power and dependability needed for working on the largest projects. The newly designed headstock can swivel 180° for outboard turning. This feature expands the bowl or platter diameters from 18" to 27-1/2". Spindle turnings up to 24″ in length can be done with the lathe. Manufacturer's 5-year warranty.

• Increased spindle height for creating greater diameter spindles, bowls, and platters.
• Lathe bed has machined ends and front for adding extensions to increase turning capabilities.
• Magnets on back of the control box allow it to be placed anywhere easily accessible for quick controlling of the speeds or emergency stopping.
• Machined bed and matching components give precise alignment.
• Ball-bearing construction for smooth, precise spindle operation.
• Adjustable locking handles keep components positioned securely.
• Pivoting belt cover for easy access when changing belt speeds.
• 8" PRO tool rest features hardened steel top rod for extra control of tools.
