THIS YEARS BIG NEW PRODUCT IN THE U.S. (THE LARGEST AND MOST COMPETITIVE WOODTURNING MARKET IN THE WORLD) THE 1624-44 IS NOW READY FOR ITS UK LAUNCH!
Sharing many of the same components as the DVR-XP, the 1624-44 also shares the same heavy cast iron construction but at a very competitive price for this level of build quality.
Featuring a range of eight speeds from 178 to 3000rpm via a step pulley drive, the 1624-44 is one of the most versatile lathes available in its price bracket. The faster speeds are perfect for small work and finishing while the very low speeds make it ideal for turning large bowls and platters up to 29". Changing speeds is made extremely easy using the tried and tested cam action mechanism. The powerful 1.5HP motor is custom designed to take the stresses of a lathe drive and a large diameter spindle shaft ensures years of solid, trouble free operation.
The 1624-44 features an easy and positive swivel head with true 360 degree swivel. It can solidly lock in any position and quickly goes back into true alignment. This simple user friendly design feature is a great advantage - no more leaning over the bed and perfect for all bowl or free end turning, large or small. Rock solid stability and precision alignment ensuring stable and trouble free turning.
The lathes versatility can be further increased if required with the addition of the optional outrigger accessory and bed extensions can be added to increase the distance between centres.
A large percentage of most turners requirements can be met even though this machine has the small footprint so often demanded by users with limited workshop space. The 1.5HP motor will provide plenty of power and torque for even the most ambitious turning projects.
