Benchtop Wood Lathe 14 x 40 in

This benchtop wood lathe offers a 14 in maximum turning diameter and a 40 in distance between centers. A 0.5 HP motor delivers four fixed speeds from 885 to 2425 RPM. The cast aluminum alloy base and steel headstock reduce vibration for stable, precise turning on a compact footprint.

Upgrade From Hand Tools Or Smaller Lathes

Moving up from handheld carving tools or a mini lathe with under 12 in swing gives you the capacity to turn table legs, bowls and spindles up to 40 in long. The jump is worth it when project length exceeds the bed of a typical pen-turning lathe and you need consistent speed control across larger workpieces.

Suits Hobbyists And Small-Shop Woodturners

Woodworkers who need a dedicated lathe for furniture components, bowls and long spindles in a home garage or modest workshop will find the 370 W motor and four-speed range adequate. Turners requiring variable-speed electronic control, larger swing over 14 in, or industrial duty cycles should consider a floor-standing model instead.

Questions about this item

How much bench space does the 14-inch by 40-inch lathe need?

The lathe measures 57.48 inches long, 8.07 inches wide and 13.39 inches high, so allow at least that footprint plus room for the 11.81-inch tool rest and workpiece overhang.

What is the correct order for setting the belt on the four-speed pulleys to reach 885, 1245, 1715 or 2425 RPM?

Disconnect the 110 V supply, open the headstock cover, move the belt to the pulley groove that matches the desired speed, tension it so it deflects slightly under thumb pressure, then close the cover before restoring power.

When should the 300 mm tool rest and the two centre points be inspected or replaced?

Check the tool rest for wear or bending after each project; replace the tooth-shape and movable centre points when the tips no longer grip the workpiece securely or show visible damage.
