The Sherwood EVS Maxi Wood Lathe 400mm Swing

The Sherwood EVS Maxi Lathe is the perfect solution for serious woodturning in a compact space. Featuring a 2HP three-phase induction motor, a full 400mm swing, plus a swivelling headstock, its capacity for large diameter work is unmatched in its class. Its massive cast-iron body ensures safe, precise turning work without movement or vibration.  

Power Plus 

A full 2HP (1500W) is on offer in the reliable three-phase induction motor, delivered through two pulley settings. One setting goes up to 3000rpm for fast, clean shaping of thinner stock, while the second setting gears things down for maximum torque. Perfect for maintaining stability when roughing irregular pieces, or for turning some of our harder Aussie timbers. And while the motor is 3-phase, it still plugs into a standard Australian 10A household supply.  

Mobile Headstock  

The Sherwood EVS Maxi Lathe features a swivelling headstock with index points at multiples of 45 and 90 degrees, allowing ultimate versatility for intricate tasks.  Sliding along the precision-ground cast-iron bed, the headstock can be locked in place on the tailstock side for outboard turning of large pieces.

Heavy-Duty Cast-Iron Bed and Legs  

The serious structure  of the Sherwood EVS Maxi Lathe ensures stability and minimises vibration. Weighing in at 135kg, what you give up in portability you gain it stability.  

Three-Phase Power and Reliability 

Three-phase induction motors deliver huge efficiency, performance, and reliability gains when compared with their single-phase and DC counterparts. Speed is controlled precisely and easily through a Variable Frequency Drive, maintaining torque through the entire speed range. And while the motor is 3-phase, it still plugs into a standard Australian 10A household supply.  Use high speeds for workpieces requiring clean finishes and light cuts, and low speeds for removing large quantities of materials and rough cuts. Or, you know best, pick a speed somewhere in the middle! 

Digital Spindle Speed Tachometer 

Accurately dial in the perfect speed for your operation, and return to it with confidence again and again using the onboard tachometer. 

Adjustable Headstock

The Sherwood EVS Maxi Lathe features a swivelling headstock with index points at multiples of 45 and 90 degrees, allowing ultimate versatility for intricate tasks. Additionally, the headstock slides along the precision-ground cast-iron bed and can be locked in place on the tailstock side for outboard turning of much larger pieces. 

300mm (12in) Tool Rest 

Maximise the time spent turning, and minimise adjustments with the generous tool rest mounted on a seriously heavy-duty banjo. 

Forward And Reverse Turning Capacity 

Forward and reverse functions allow you to hollow out your projects with ease, keeping eyes on what you’re doing, as well as allowing the cleanest finish as you sand in both directions.
