Package Details:
For sale a great small lathe, ideal for bowls up to 12" diameter, spindles and pens. I am moving to a city apartment and sadly have to sell. Lathe has a 220V motor with variable speed control. Integrated base with leveling feet keeps the lathe rock steady, even turning the larger bowls. Lathe is in excellent condition, with no signs of rust on bed and just superficial scratches on paint work. Includes Gast vacuum chucking kit and a number of other accessories described below. All-in price new on Packard Woodworks site for everything offered is approximately $3600. Asking $2000 OBO. Located in Oak Park, Illinois, for local pickup only. More pictures at bottom of post.
Lathe Details
Model 1224 offers 24" between centers, with 12-1/2" swing over the ways or 9" swing over the banjo (toolrest base). Overall length is 46". The 1-5/8" diameter headstock spindle is mounted in four sealed-for-life ball bearings, and the inboard spindle nose is threaded 1"-8 tpi to accept a very wide variety of faceplates, chucks and accessories. The outboard end is threaded 3/4"-16 tpi for vacuum accessories. Both headstock and tailstock accept #2 Morse taper accessories. A 24-position indexing head is standard. Like a scaled-down version of Oneway's massive full-size lathes, Model 1224 is built on a heavy 4-1/2" diameter steel tube for almost perfect torsional rigidity. The ways are offset forward for easy access, allowing waste to fall through cleanly.
Model 1224 comes with a 1HP 220 V motor, and features a fully electronic variable speed switch with soft start, constant torque, and dynamic braking to a soft stop. A 2-step drive pulley lets you choose the speed range best suited to the diameter & length of the project at hand: 0-1200 or 0-4500 rpm.
Standard equipment includes a steel stand, safety drive center, live tail center, 9" stainless steel tool rest and a 3" faceplate.
Weight 300lbs.
Bundled Accessories
Faceplates: 4" and 6" faceplates in addition to the standard 3" faceplate
Oneway Vacuum chucking kit, including Gast vacuum pump, rotary adaptor and gauge kit (gauge needs replacing but piping and valve works perfectly). Vacuum chucking greatly simplifies many aspects of the bowl turning process.
Sorby Steb 1/2" drive center: spring loaded, stainless steel center point keeps the point from drifting when penetrating the wood and allows the work piece to be stopped for inspection without turning it off.
Oneway Easy Core System: a coring system that saves the inside of the bowl that would normally be turned to shavings.
Three Packard wood spindle turning tools and an 8 piece HSS spindle turning set.
