The lathe is the beating heart of the woodturner’s workshop. A reliable lathe works tirelessly to enable you to transform your ideas into reality. It is your trusted partner in the creative process.

The Sherwood Maxi EVS 400mm Swing Wood Lathe

The Sherwood Maxi EVS Wood Lathe features a 3HP three-phase induction motor, a maximum 400mm swing and electronic adjustable working length. Its massive cast-iron body ensures safe, precise turning work without movement or vibration. The #2 Morse Tapers at the head and tailstock ends, ensure that it’s compatible with all your favourite centres. And, the handy magnetic, moveable switch-box gives you the ultimate versatile work station – no more stretching for that switch!   

Three-Phase Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Induction Motor  

The three-phase 2200W (3HP) induction motor delivers huge efficiency, performance, and reliability gains when compared to single-phase and DC counterparts. Compared with DC motors, induction motors are quieter, simpler and more reliable. The main benefit of using an induction motor is high torque at low speed. Speed is controlled by the VFD, which converts your single-phase household power supply into three-phase for the motor. When you need to slow right down for uneven workpieces or larger diameters, the Sherwood Maxi EVS Wood Lathe drops as low as 20rpm without losing any torque, so you can rely on constant, powerful performance. In addition, unlike many DC motors, AC induction motors have no brushes that wear out and need replacing. Enjoy peace of mind with the Sherwood Maxi EVS Wood Lathe.

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. Go up to 3850rpm for fast, clean shaping of thinner stock, or slow things down for removing large quantities of materials and rough cuts with maximum torque. Perfect for maintaining stability when roughing irregular pieces, or for turning some of our harder Aussie timbers.

Forward and reverse settings 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. The power is in your hands. 

Electronic Bed Adjustment

Adjusting the working length on this lathe could not be easier. Traditionally, adjusting the working length involves sliding the tailstock along the bed, but with the Sherwood Maxi 400mm the bed can move too! A simple switch electronically extends the top bed, revealing a lower bed underneath. With the upper bed extended, the full swing of this lathe is expanded from 295mm to 400mm, and allows for an extra 500mm working length, for a total of 1020mm.  

Accessorise

The included live and spur centres, face plate, knock-out bar and tool rest, means you’re ready to get turning straight out of the box! Every fitting on this lathe is specifically designed to fit industry-standard?morse tapers and threads, unlike some of its larger competitors, it excels when performing at its maximum capacity. 

5-Year Warranty

All Sherwood products feature a standard 5-Year limited warranty. No other wood lathe in its class is more supported than the Sherwood Maxi 400mm Wood Lathe.
