The Bigger, Bolder T-60S Wood Lathe
Harvey T-60S Turbo Wood Lathe
Ever since we introduced the T-40 Turbo Wood Lathe in the US, some of the top turners asked us if we could provide a larger capacity lathe with the same features and benefits of the T-40 but just scaled up.
The T-60S lathe does just that by combining the technological advances of the T-40โs Industrial Servo Motor and control system with a 24โ swing over the bed and 48โ between centers. The T-60S motor has the same 300% overload capacity and the same 2 microsecond response time that provides the torque you need when working on larger pieces.
Other features include:
- 2HP Servo Motor, 230V single phase operation
- Spindle speeds (High Range/Low Range) providing variable speeds between 200-3500 rpm/60-1000 rpm
- Easy changing V-belt for fast set-ups
- Secondary Start/Stop control with a magnetic back for mounting anywhere on the lathe.
- The headstock slides along the entire length of the bed
- Large headstock spindle with three heavy-duty bearings for greater stability and turning performance
- A swing away tail bed extension that allows the tailstock to be moved without removing it from the bed
- An optional extension bed that mounts to the end of the lathe for an additional 35โ of swing. ย The bed can also be mounted in the center of the lathe for larger outboard turning projects.
- 48 position indexing with an easy one-hand spindle locking mechanism
- Comparator arms for easier duplicating
- 24โ guard for increased operator protection
- 1-1/4โ, 8 TPI MT #2 spindle; 4-1/2โ of tailstock travel with self-ejection
- Premium cast iron construction
- Heavy duty solid-locking handles
We will be showing the prototype units in Raleigh, NC at the AAW Symposium on July 11-14. Stuart Kent will be there doing demonstrations on our Harvey lathes and a few turner friends of Harvey will be dropping by to try it out. ย Come and see what they think!
