VL300 Short SM 3HP

VL300 Short SM EVS 3HP

The VL300 Short Stand Mount EVS (Electronic Variable Speed) lathe is the big brother to the VL300 SM EVS 1.5kW lathe. It comes with a powerful 2.2kW motor (3HP).

The electronic variable speed drive gives up to 200% torque on low rpm. The three-step pulleys provide 3 ratios 1:1 for small to medium size work; 1:1.5 for medium to large work; and 1:3 for large work. The lathe is fitted with a remote magnetic switch box (including reverse), that can be positioned anywhere on the lathe for easy access.

The cast iron lathe is mounted on a 4mm thick steel plate stand, which has been designed with a 700mm wide footprint for stability and rigidity.

All VL300 lathe models accept an extension bed at either end of the bed. A 500mm or 1000mm bolt on extension bed is available and multiple extensions can be added on.

Note: with 1000mm extension bed you will require an extension bed leg.

The VL300 SM EVS has been upgraded and now includes these following new features!

  • Precision machined face on both ends of the bed for bolt on extension bed or swing away tailstock support.
  • Digital speed readout located below the headstock that displays the actual spindle RPM.
  • Hindged headstock door for ease of use and an ergonomic Toolrest.
