Woodworking Lathe - 450 W - 470 mm

The MSW small lathe has a 450 watts electric engine. This engine has an ideal performance range to carry out a wide range of operations on wooden workpieces. It can process pieces up to a length of 47 centimetres, a working height of 12 centimetres and a diameter of 24 centimetres.

Depending on whether you work on soft wood such as fir or linden or on hard oak wood, the speed can be varied in five stages between 690 and 2,710 revolutions per minute.

Depending on the length of the workpiece, the carriage of the tailstock can be locked to a large, handy lever. Readjusting the tailstock tip is a quick fix. It is readjusted on a wheel with a crank on the extension of the tailstock spindle. A second lever holds the tailstock in the desired position after the fine adjustment.

The precise placement of the tool is particularly important for good work results. The tool table like the tailstock, is locked with a lever in the desired position. In order to ensure maximum flexibility, it is also possible to change the orientation of the tool table towards the workpiece. Another lever is available to fix the desired angle.

The clamping disc has a diameter of 110 millimetres. It is the force-transmitting element between the spindle and the workpiece. There are several thorns in its centre, for moving the workpiece with the rotation movement. The tailstock cone or mandrel is an abutment, which only runs along, but does not transmit power. For turning balls, bowls or cups, the workpiece gets attached to the clamping disc, without being additionally clamped in the tailstock. The lathe can easily achieve this.

It is not entirely safe to operate electrical machines, so safety precautions are particularly important. The lathe has a restart protection, which prevents operation after a power failure or after disconnecting. Before the operation is resumed, the power switch must be pressed again.
