The Sherwood Midi EVS Wood Lathe 350mm
With a large 350mm (14”) turning capacity, the Sherwood Midi EVS Wood Lathe features a high-quality inverter controlling a powerful 1hp AC motor. It weighs in at a hefty 57 kilograms, delivering precision through solid vibration reduction. The #2 Morse Tapers at headstock 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!
Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Induction Motor
The addition of an Induction motor increases the reliability of the machine. Compared with their DC counterparts, induction motors are quieter, simpler and more reliable. High torque at low speed is the most significant advantage of an Induction-powered AC VFD lathe over most DC versions on the market. When you need to slow right down for uneven workpieces or larger diameters, the Sherwood Midi EVS Wood Lathe drops as low as 100rpm without losing any torque.
Not only this, Induction Motors do not use any brushes - unlike DC motors. The less wearable parts there are, the less there is to go wrong or eventually replace! The Sherwood Midi EVS Wood Lathe gives you peace of mind, so you can get on with the more important task of bringing your projects to life!
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. 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.
Accessorise
The included live and spur centres, face plate, knock-out bar and small & large tool rests, 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, unlike some of its larger competitors, it excels when performing at its maximum capacity.
