18" X 47" HEAVY DUTY WOOD LATHE

The Craftex CX-Series CX802 is a full-size wood lathe designed for turners who need substantial capacity, precise speed control, and dependable low-speed performance. Its heavy-duty 2HP, three-phase AC motor is operated through a single-phase frequency drive, allowing the machine to run from a 220V single-phase power supply while delivering smooth and efficient power.

Electronic variable-speed control and a digital RPM display make it easy to select and monitor the spindle speed for different workpiece sizes and turning applications. Two speed ranges provide operation from 100 to 1,200 RPM in low range and 330 to 3,200 RPM in high range.

With an 18" swing over the bed and 47" between centres, the CX802 offers the capacity required for large spindle and faceplate turning projects. The headstock can slide to the end of the bedway for easier outboard turning and improved access to larger workpieces.

Heavy-duty cast iron legs with adjustable steel feet provide a stable platform and help minimize vibration. Integrated gussets allow shelving or storage to be added between the legs, while the included reinforced steel basket keeps frequently used tools and accessories close at hand.

Additional features include forward and reverse operation, spindle indexing, a spindle lock pin, an emergency stop switch, and MT2 spindle and tailstock tapers. The lathe comes with a spur centre, live centre, tool rest, and 6" faceplate.
