Axminster Drill Powered Woodturning Lathe

The Axminster drill powered lathe is a very robust and workmanlike accessory for light duty spindle or faceplate turning using mains powered drills with a 43mm diameter mounting collar. The lathe bed is made from heavy section aluminium extrusion and the headstock, tailstock and toolrest are all aluminium die-castings. The headstock can be rotated through 90° to allow for faceplate turning in front of the lathe or for using other drill-mounted accessories such as sanding discs and polishing mops. Maximum capacity between centres is 605mm (23.13/16") and maximum swing over bed is 75mm (3"). Included as standard with the lathe are a four prong drive centre for mounting in the headstock, a rotating centre for the tailstock, 5" faceplate for bowl turning or sanding (use 5" self adhesive discs), a screw chuck for small items, a strong tool rest and a work table which fits into the tool rest holder when using the lathe as a disc sander. So if you already own a power drill and have always fancied trying your hand at turning there is no excuse now, you may uncover hidden talents!
