away from the headstock to double the standard between-centers distance from 20” to 40”! Moving the sliding bed also increases the swing from 23-7/32” to 31-1/4” over the lower bed! Ideal for turning large bowls or platters. This space-saving lathe is extra heavy-duty, made of solid cast iron and steel construction to provide professional turners with a robust machine that will take the stress when turning large diameter bowls or spindles. The 3HP TEFC, 220V motor combined with 4 heavy-duty bearings in the headstock and digital speed controls provide all the power and precision needed for this versatile lathe.
Tool Rest Extension – Increases the reach of tool rests for turning surfaces not possible with standard tool rests. Has 1″ post and hole, with 7-1/2″ reach.
Adjustable Feet, Set of 4 – All-metal feet with 3-1/8″ (80 mm) swivel base pads. Set includes hardware to install on lathe legs with pre-bored mounting holes.
RETRACTABLE SWIVEL CASTERS – Includes brackets and hardware to install these 2-1/2″ diameter casters on the 70-3040 Lathe legs. Foot activated pedals raise the lathe about a 1″, so the lathe can be easily moved when needed.
TOOL REST HEIGHT EXTENSION – Raises tool rests 4″ higher when working on larger swing capacity lathes. Has 1″ post and 1″ receiving hole for securing your tool rests with its lever handle.
GAP BED INSERT – This short, duplication of the 70-3040 lathe’s upper lathe bed installs over the exposed lower bed and continues the upper bed track at the same height as the sliding bed. This means that your tool rest base can be now positioned anywhere on the lathe for turning, sliding from end-to-end, between center- to-center. A second tool rest base is not needed.
TOOL REST BASE ASSEMBLY – For use on the lower bed when the lathe’s sliding bed is extended for turning spindles. This second tool rest (with height extender), along with the other supplied base on the sliding bed, permits turning along a full 40” long spindle by switching gouges between the two rests. Includes base assembly only, without tool rest or tool rest height extension.
60° LIVE CENTER – Great for centering stock with 1/8” to 1-3/8” pre-drilled nd holes for turning. Features sealed double ball bearings or smooth operation, #2 Morse Taper and alloy teel construction.
