Description and Specification for Lab Tenders
Astra Scientific Wood Working Lathe Machine.
A three step poly-V pulley system allows three speed ranges which
coupled with the load sensing inverter ensure maximum torque and stable
spindle speeds. The magnetic switch unit can be placed in any convenient
position on the lathe bed or headstock to suit the work in hand and
incorporates on/off buttons, a speed control knob and a forward and
reverse switch. An LED digital read-out of the lathe speed in RPM is a
useful feature that helps control your work. A 400mm(16") between
centres and a 350mm (14") swing over the bed capacity is generous on a
lathe this compact. Spindle indexing is achieved in 15° segments by
insertion of a magnetic dowel pin. Threaded holes (3/8"x16 UNC) are
provided at each corner of the lathe for bench mounting. Tool post
diameter 1" (25.4mm). This lathe has proved to be very popular for both
teaching and craft demonstrations, not too big nor heavy but with enough
capacity to show off your skills. Supplied with four prong Axminster
drive centre, Axminster revolving tailstock centre, 75mm faceplate and a
knock out bar.
