About Turncrafter Pro 1/2HP Variabale Speed Midi Lathe (#TCLPROVS)
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.

Reviewer: Arthur Caputi (Bellingham, WA)

It worked perfectly out of the box. Perhaps not quite as nicely finished as similar lathes costing twice as much (or more) but it runs like a charm. Functionality is the most important aspect of any tool, and this lathe is perfectly functional.

5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Very pleased
Reviewer: Paul Salenko (Laguna Hills, CA)

I am very happy with my new lathe. It is solid, quiet and turns true. The only down side was the on/off switch gave up the 3rd or 4th time I turned it on. I opened the variable speed box and found the on/off switch to be very poorly made. Rather than return the entire lathe, I went to my local electronics store and purchased a high quality replacement switch for $3.00 and it works great.
