THESE 12” AND 20” WOOD TURNING LATHES WERE DESIGNED AND BUILT FOR PROFESSIONALS WHO WANT SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE. WITH FEATURES LIKE EFFICIENT SPEED SHIFTING, HIGH TURNING CAPACITY, AND A WIDE RANGE OF MOTOR OPTIONS, THESE MACHINES ARE VERY VERSATILE. ADD THEIR SUPERIOR DESIGN AND CAST-IRON CONSTRUCTION AND YOU HAVE VERY STRONG, ACCURATE AND STABLE MACHINES.

Models 260-1 & 26020-1  
With mechanical variable speed are equipped with a headstock spindle made of precision-machined, high-quality steel and a clamping system for accessory changing. It is mounted on 2 large sealed and lubricated-for-life ball bearings. A dynamically balanced, machined cast-iron single-V pulley with and indexing mechanism mounted on the spindle. The spindle nose is threaded 5/8” at both ends and bored for a Morse No. 2 taper. For models 260 and 26020 – 4 speeds are equipped with a 4 – step pulley. Different accessories can be install to the spindle. 

Whenever needed, the operator can increase or decrease speed without stopping the machine. The required speed is selected by using the control lever and gear on the front of the machine (model 260-1 & 26020-1)

A spring-loaded quick release lever is fitted to the motor mount so as to change speeds by releasing belt tension and repositioning the drive belt on the pulley.
(Model 260 & 26020-4 speeds)  

The headstock, tailstock, and bed all made out of well ribbed, high-quality cast-iron to eliminate distortion. The bed guideways are precision- machined to allow the tailstock and the tool rest base to slide easily without friction.  

The headstock cover is removable for access to the spindle and the indexing mechanism.  

The tailstock is equipped with a quick-locking eccentric lever system. The spindle is bored for a “Morse No. 2” taper and is self-ejecting. A handwheel provides 2” tailstock spindle travel while a locking lever locks it in position.  

The tool rest base is made of precision-machined cast-iron and moves easily on guideways. A lever locking mechanism quickly secures it in the required p osition. 

The high-quality, heavy-duty steel base is composed of a one-piece cabinet with shelving for stability and strength. A large hinged door with latch in front of the machine gives access to the mechanism and motor.  

A powerful, closed and ventilated industrial motor of north american design ensures exceptional operating performance.  

Approximate table of speed ratios is fitted to the front of the headstock.  

All wood turning models, whether 12” & 20”, 4-speed or variable speed, are equipped with a push-button “on/off” switch and a magnetic safety switch.
