The SHOP FOX W1836 Wood Lathe is packed with features that wood turners love. A powerful 3/4 HP motor with electronic variable-speed spindle control and a digital RPM readout for precise speed adjustments make this lathe a top choice. 24 indexes in increments of 15 allow evenly spaced cuts while the headstock stays in a locked position which opens new possibilities not available on most bench top lathes. Heavy-duty cast iron construction and rubber feet for increased stability and smooth turning operations.
