Sherwood Mini Wood Lathe 305mm Swing

When you're dealing with small machinery, it's all about attention to detail, which is why this offering from Sherwood's comprehensive lathe collection has all the features woodturners want at an affordable price. The Sherwood Mini Wood Lathe has been purpose-built on a smaller scale but it still has serious capacity, 550W of power at variable spindle speeds of up to 3500rpm. It is easily mobile and tucks away beautifully in a garage, but best of all, it's reliable.

It has a solid cast-iron bed suitable for absorbing vibration, delivering rock-solid performance. And you'll be ready to go right out of the box, as this lathe includes a face plate, spur drive, live centre and knockout bar and tool rest! Every fitting on this lathe is specifically design to fit the industry-standard morse tapers and threads, unlike some of its larger competitors, it excels when performing at its maximum capacity.

Electronic Variable Speed

When you need the best possible level of control to optimise your accuracy and eliminate speed-related tear-out and chatter, then EVS is essential. The motor speed is adjusted easily and simply using the speed control knob. Use high speeds for workpieces requiring clean finishes and light cuts, and low speeds for removing large quantities of materials and rough cuts. The power is in your hands.

This design is intentionally simple - there's very little that can go wrong with this machine. But what makes it special is the Sherwood Difference. We've been woodworking for 30 years and we test every feature to ensure that the little touches are ahead of the competition, while maintaining a sturdy robust design that's effortlessly reliable.
