Jet Pen Maker's Woodturning Lathe

This very popular little lathe is just the job for turning pens, light pulls, dolls' house furniture and other miniature items. It's light weight and low noise level makes woodturning on the kitchen table or in the spare bedroom a real possibility. There is a choice of three motor speeds, easily varied by swapping the drive belt between the three pairs of pulleys, and the top speed is excellent for producing a good finish. Standard equipment consists of Pen Mandrel, Goggles, and 3 x Miniature HSS Turning Chisels. In addition to this, there are a number of Axminster-developed accessories available for use with the lathe. It is important to note that this lathe is intended for turning only pens and other small items and there is no provision for fitting a chuck. The pen mandrel and drive centres are located in a parallel bore in the headstock, not a Morse taper, and are driven by friction between chamfers on the back of the drive centre and the bore in the headstock.
