The benchtop wood lathe and the workshop wood lathe are two models of wood turning machines with or without a copier for mass production from a template.
Wood turning is aimed at wood lovers, whether you are a beginner or a professional, there is a wood lathe of suitable quality and power. The amateur will have the choice between a mini wood lathe to be placed on a workbench which can be with or without a bench extension depending on the length of wood to be turned and a large cast iron lathe ensuring stability and avoiding vibrations during turning. The more stable the lathe, the more pleasant the work is for the user and the better the rendering. The more experienced professional will find what he is looking for among the high-end wood lathes of solid construction with center distances of up to 1500 mm. They all have the same motivation and desire: turning decorative objects such as candlesticks, lamps and lamp bases, balls to decorate your staircase or plates for example, to make parts of furniture such as Louis XVI style table or armchair legs but also, woodturning is ideal for making toys such as spinning tops, skittles, chess pieces or cup and ball games. The wood lathe is the machine of pure creation, the copier will be necessary to ensure a series of identical objects without being an obligation.
A whole range of gouges and wood chisels will complete the work of turning, among the most used we find the rounded scraper, the roughing gouge, the hollowing gouge, the oval plane, the truncating or the profiling gouge. Wood holding tools will also be essential, such as jaw chucks, tailstocks or drive claws, and lathe tools specially designed for wood turners.
