Vicmarc VL150 V2 Retrofit
Vicmarc VL150 V2
With up to 150% torque on low rpm and spindle speeds ranging from 30 - 3460 RPM, the cast iron VL150-V2 provides superb performance and stability, driven by a powerful 1HP motor.
The VL150 mini lathe is the first of its kind to introduce MT2 and taper roller bearings and when compared to other mini lathes on the market, it is by far, in a class of its own. The VL150 is robust enough to last a lifetime and boasts the best value feature-by-feature lathe in the world.
When looking for a mini lathe that combines precision engineering, functionality and high performance, the VL150 comes out on top.
VL150 V2 Outboard Extension Bed Retrofit Kit
Designed for owners wishing to expand the capabilities of their existing VL150 V2 lathe, this retrofit kit allows the addition of an outboard extension bed, providing increased versatility for larger diameter turning projects.
Manufactured from heavy-duty cast iron to match the construction and rigidity of the VL150 V2, the extension bed mounts to the outboard side of the lathe and maintains the robust, vibration-resistant characteristics Vicmarc machines are known for. Precision-machined bed surfaces ensure accurate alignment and dependable support when undertaking outboard turning applications.
The retrofit provides greater flexibility for turners who require additional clearance beyond the standard swing capacity, making it ideal for larger platters, bowls and specialised turning projects. By extending the working envelope of the lathe, users can take advantage of the VL150 V2's solid cast iron construction while expanding the range of work that can be safely and comfortably undertaken.
The VL150 features include:
- Increased motor size 1HP
- Hinged headstock door
- A new and improved headstock indexing pin
- New belt tensioner
- Hinged door latch to make belt changing faster and easier
- Electronic variable speed with digital display and switch controls are contained in a moveable steel box, attachable to the belt access door.
