Sherwood 510mm Maxi Wood Lathe
The Sherwood 510mm Maxi Lathe is the perfect solution for serious woodturning. Its 3-phase, 3HP motor delivers full torque throughout the speed range. The swivelling headstock features a massive 510mm swing – unmatched in its capacity for large diameter work. The impressive cast-iron bodywork ensures safe and precise turning without movement or vibration. And the handy magnetic, moveable switch-box gives you the ultimate versatile work station – no more stretching for that switch.
Power Plus
The rugged, reliable 3-phase induction motor offers a full 3 horsepower output, delivered through two pulley settings. One pulley allows up to 3550rpm 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 510mm 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.
Quick Change
The brilliant swing-away tailstock fitting is super useful for hollowing and other turning tasks that involve getting on the inside of the object. Simply swing the tailstock out of the way - no need to remove it!
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 design to fit the industry-standard morse tapers and threads, so unlike some of its 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 510mm Maxi Wood Lathe.
