The Craftex CX-Series CX814 14" x 20" Wood Lathe combines a compact footprint, 1 HP variable-speed motor, and 14" swing capacity for a wide range of spindle and small faceplate turning projects. Read Less
Designed for woodturners who want versatility without sacrificing workshop space, the CX814 offers variable spindle speeds from 250 to 3,550 RPM across three belt ranges. This allows the operator to fine-tune the speed for different workpiece sizes, materials, and turning operations.
The precision-ground bed supports smooth movement of the tool rest and tailstock, while the 24-position spindle indexing system provides 15-degree increments for layout and decorative work. An optional CX814EXT bed extension is available separately, allowing the lathe to accommodate longer projects as your turning needs grow.
