The New Laguna Tools Platinum Series 18/47 lathe was specifically designed for woodturners by woodturners with capacities designed to match the needs of turning enthusiasts. The 18/47 features plenty of cast iron in the bed and legs to dampen vibration while turning. The legs have cast-in gussets allowing you to add a shelf for storage or additional weight.

Lathe operates on single phase 220 volt while the motor is a three phase motor with constant torque monitoring. Speed control can be used in forward or reverse to make sanding a breeze. Standard equipment includes spur drive center, live center, knock-out bar, index lock, face plate, handwheel, and long tool rest.
