14" X 43" VARI SPEED WOOD LATHE

The Craftex CX-Series CX803 is a full-size wood lathe designed for a wide range of spindle and faceplate turning projects. Its 3/4HP, 120V motor provides variable spindle speeds from 600 to 2,400 RPM, allowing the speed to be adjusted to suit different workpiece sizes and turning applications.

With a 14" swing over the bed and 43" between centres, the CX803 provides the capacity needed for long spindle work and larger turning projects. The digital RPM display makes it easy to monitor spindle speed while working.

The precision-ground cast iron bed helps reduce vibration for smoother operation and greater accuracy. Cast iron construction is also used for the stand, headstock, and tailstock, creating a solid and stable platform. An MT2 spindle taper, MT2 tailstock taper, 1" x 8 TPI spindle, and included 6" faceplate provide practical versatility for the workshop.
