Lathes

The various power lathes available for the home workshop make it easy to obtain brilliant results with very little woodworking knowledge. The wood to be smoothed is held in the lathe jaws, or chuck, with the other end fixed by the centre spindle. The lathe operator can then use various blades, pointed tools, and sanding blocks to work the spinning wood. Professional Finish Lathes Power lathes enable woodworkers to shape wood to their exact requirements, producing a smooth and professional finish. You can fashion smooth cylindrical shapes or create highly decorative wooden spindles for furniture or staircase balustrades and banisters. Our lathes are powerful but still compact and portable, and can be sited on a worktable or bench, and stored easily away when not in use.
