We've engineered the Turncrafter Pro VS to be the most powerful variable speed midi-lathe on the market. The Turncrafter Pro VS uses the same heavy duty casting and precision components as its single speed award winning counterpart (#TCLPRO). The lathe is constructed from cast iron and includes a powerful 1/2HP universal motor with electronic speed control that provides full torque at all speeds. The variable speed feature provides you infinite and instantaneous speed control as you turn. Dial a slow speed for larger pieces and faster speeds for spindles and fine finishing. The 3-belt positions adjust from 650RPM to 3800RPM.
The TCLPROVS features a control box with a cable that lets you mount the box on the lathe or on your bench up to 3 feet from the lathe. The lathe includes many extras and has many accessories available to make it a complete turning center.

Already turned 3 pens!! Works great now working on technique!! Too bad Penn State can't improve on that!!

Turncraft ProVS Great Lathe

Reviewer: Larry Garvis (Thorp, WI)

I tried a Jet Midi Lathe and wanted one for doing my small work. I just didn't have the price of one. So I decided to try the Turncraft and it does everything the Jet does and for half the price. I have turned several Pens and it really does the job. The only one thing that needs correcting is the booklet on the lathe. It sure doesn't tell you much or show all the parts. It's still a 5 star machine. I would recommend it to anyone.

Had a Mini Lathe before I bought the Turncrafter Pro. The new lathe gives more options for turing projects. Great tool Dave D

Great Product, Skimpy Instructions

Reviewer: Norman Dresner (Severn, MD)
Submitted: 8.5.2009

After starting with a "toy" lathe, this feels like a professional tool which I'll be able to use for a long time. But the instructions are so skimpy that they don't even mention the circuit breaker reset switch on the control box!

Very good
