VS Turncrafter Pro with Extension Bed

With Extension Bed!
We've engineered the TurncrafterPro VS to be the most powerful variable speed midi-lathe on the market. The TurncrafterPro 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.

• Motor: 1/2HP (650-3800 RPM) • 6" Toolrest

I am not writing this review to be featured on anything. Just wanted to let you know I appreciate the quality and service you provided. Actually thought I would give making pens a try. So far the only thing I have attempted is a baseball bat. I am not a lathe guy so it's lots of fun just experimenting, hopefully, I will eventually make an attempt at pens. Thanks for great pproduct Ron Akiyama

I received the machine damaged, called and a new one was shipped immediately, received it in perfect condition. took less than 15min to set everything up, turned the machine on and was extremely pleased with how smooth running it was. EXCELLENT machine for the price.

This is my first lathe and it is wonderful. Nice small size doesn't take up alot of room. People at first don't believe I make the pens I hand them to use.

Overall I like the lathe. Great for a beginner or someone who is only going to turn small stuff. The packaging was destroyed by the shipper but not a scratch on the lathe. When I called Penn State to inform them, I was greeted by a pleasant person and was told "If there is a problem we will ship out a new one" immediately. Great customer service.

Variable speed is well worth it. Don't have to change belts every time you change material. My kids have turned several pens and pencils. Big test will be something larger like baseball bats. As of now, no complaints. Great Lathe!
