Headstock Spindle Variable Speed 4 Speeds

Headstock Spindle:

Model 26020 with mechanical variable speed are equipped with a headstock spindle made of precision-machined, high-quality steel and a clamping system for accessory changing. It is mounted on 2 large sealed and lubricated-for-life ball bearings.

Variable Speed:

Whenever needed, the operator can increase or decrease speed without stopping the machine. The required speed is selected by using the control lever and gear on the front of the machine

4 Speeds:

A spring-loaded quick release lever is fitted to the motor mount so as to change speeds by releasing belt tension and repositioning the drive belt on the pulley.

	The headstock, tailstock, and bed are all made out of well ribbed, high-quality cast-iron to
	eliminate distortion. The bed guide ways are precision- machined to allow the tailstock and
	the tool rest base to slide easily without friction.

	The headstock cover is removable for access to the spindle and the indexing mechanism.

	The tailstock is equipped with a quick-locking eccentric lever system. The spindle is bored
	for a “Morse No. 2” taper and is self-ejecting. A hand wheel provides 2” tailstock spindle
	travel while a locking lever locks it in position.

	The tool rest base is made of precision-machined cast-iron and moves easily on
	guide ways. A lever locking mechanism quickly secures it in the required position.

	The high-quality, heavy-duty steel base is composed of a one-piece cabinet with shelving
	for stability and strength. A large hinged door with latch in front of the machine gives
	access to the mechanism and motor.

	A powerful, closed and ventilated industrial motor of North American design ensures
	exceptional operating performance.

	A table of approximate speed ratios is fitted to the front of the headstock.

	All wood turning models, whether 12” & 20”, 4-speed or variable speed, are equipped with
	a push-button “on/off” switch and a magnetic safety switch.

	Accessories included on all 4 models
	Drive Center #1632SA, cup center #1633SA, 4” tool rest #165 and 12” tool rest # 166, 3”
	diameter face plate #2637 and 6” diameter face plate #2638, and tool rest base #264SA
	for the 12” and #2614 for the 20”.

Optional Additions:

"EASY OFF" Power Control

For a maximum security , the "EASY OFF" power control is significantly better and much larger than conventional push button switches with a heavy- duty PVC construction.
