SIP Variable Speed Midi Wood Lathe [01936]

The SIP 01936 is a robust, high-precision benchtop wood lathe engineered for home woodturning enthusiasts, hobbyists, and professional artisans creating intricate, small-to-medium workpieces. Constructed with a heavy-duty cast iron bed to effectively dampen vibrations and optimize turning stability, this machine features an electronic variable speed motor with a clear digital RPM readout. It serves as an excellent foundational lathe for beginners or a dedicated secondary station for advanced turners specializing in detailed spindle work, bowl turning, drilling, and sanding.

Key Features & Benefits

• Electronic Variable Speed Control: Driven by a smooth 550W motor with an adjustable speed range spanning 500 rpm to 3,500 rpm, allowing operators to fine-tune rotation speeds instantly to match varying wood densities and project stages.
• Digital Speedometer Display: Features an integrated digital LCD panel on the chassis that provides an immediate, highly accurate readout of the current headstock spindle speed for precision tracking.
• Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Architecture: Built with a structural cast iron lathe bed, headstock, and tailstock to provide maximum mechanical mass, rigidity, and resistance to torsional stress when turning off-center timber.
• Versatile Workpiece Capacity: Offers a maximum turning diameter (swing over bed) of 305mm (12") and an expansive distance between centers of 432mm (17"), accommodating a wide range of creative woodwork layouts.
• Standard 3/4" x 16 TPI Spindle Thread: Equipped with a universally compatible spindle nose thread size, allowing quick installation of various aftermarket turning chucks, faceplates, and specialist accessories.
