Product Description
Please check with us for availability
This lathe from Record Power represents the culmination of many decades of expertise in the manufacture and supply of superior woodturning lathes. Developed with the help of professional woodturners and keen hobbyists, we believe we have produced a world-class machine for woodturners of all levels. Thanks to a number of innovative design solutions the capabilities, features and performance of the Herald far exceed anything a machine of this size has been capable of before - It brings top-end professional performance at a fraction of the size and cost of comparable heavy-duty machines.
Record Power has a long history of making good quality lathes right back to their Coronet roots in 1945 - around 75 years of accumulated experience and knowledge. Record Power lathes earned a strong reputation as well-engineered and robust machines.
Features:- The 1HP motor features the latest in motor technology to give huge amounts of torque, comparable to lathes over twice the size and motor rating. Instantaneous speed change is achieved using the easily accessible control panel. Reversing is also offered for sanding or left handed turning (Must be used only with suitable locking systems for chucks and accessories).
- Unlike most cast bed lathes, the headstock of the Herald can be rotated 360º, optimising access and also making it ideal for left-handed turners, who can effectively turn this machine into a fully left-handed lathe using the reverse facility of the control system. A bearing system beneath the headstock allows it to be located in popular positions. The headstock can also be moved along the lathe bed if required.
- The tool rest holder is locked in place instantly with the easy to use cam locking system.
- The 1" diameter tool rest stem helps minimise vibration, giving a smoother and easier cut.
- A 3 step pulley is provided for maximum versatility. For most turning the middle pulley is perfect and provides good torque but if you need maximum torque comparable to much larger lathes for heavy cuts or low speed work, then the bottom pulley has immense torque capability. For very small work, polishing or burnishing acrylics, the top pulley gives access to very high speeds.
- The headstock features a substantial hand wheel to turn the spindle, making fitment of headstock accessories much easier.
- Holds the spindle securely and offers a full 24 point indexing function.
- The new and improved tailstock has been designed to allow easier access to the cam lock handle at the rear. It is also profiled and open on one side for comfortable grip when sliding along the bed.
- The legs shown in the photo are not included and are sold separately.

THE store to buy from!
One last comment. This is definitely THE store (TWS) you want to purchase from! ALL items I purchased from them were sent out post haste within 24 hours and was called by their office to confirm address to be sent to. Ordering to receipt of product has been one to two days from ordering. Can't beat that with a stick!

HERALD LATHE
I'm fortunate enough to own 8 lathes between 2 residences and this is my latest (and by far!) best lathe I've owned...period! I'm handicapped & require to be seated to be able to turn. I bought the basic unit hoping to mount it onto my Rikon lathe stand but unfortunately the holes did not line up so I bought the optional bench feet which worked just fine to mount it to that stand. I also bought the optional stop switch, bed extension & outrigger extension planning to do larger turnings. This lathe has TONS of power and speed range. Liking to turn pens, I appreciate the ability to go from roughly 300-3900 RPM on just the 3rd step pulley allowing me to use CA on the lowest speed to polishing on the highest speed. Don't buy any other lathe! Save your money, buy this lathe once and be done with it! There's no other mid size lathe that can compare with the features this one has at this price point. This is built like a tank and has an OUTSTANDING headstock that can be rotated 360 degrees as well as moved up & down the lathe bed. I LOVE THIS LATHE!!

After a year of use.....
I purchased this lathe September of 2021 and have used it extensively since. Record Power produced an incredible lathe for this price point. My work is primarily bowls, platters, and hollow forms, both large and small, but also includes a host of craft style products for the Christmas season. My workshop is small and this is one of only a few available that could support my requirements for size and versatility. Having a movable headstock has made my turning much, much easier given space constraints. The controls are unique but I adjusted rapidly and now would find returning to more standard controls a step backwards in convenience. I could not be happier; definitely one of the best decisions regarding tools I've ever made.

Herald Lathe
This lathe is amazing. There is no other lathe at this price point with the same features and quality. This lathe went together very smoothly. The head and tail stock was dead on out of the box. Legs went on without a problem, all holes lined up perfectly. I love the power this lathe has. There is plenty of speed for polishing and low-end torque at lower speeds. This lathe was well worth the wait. Customer service was outstanding for the duration of the sale. Thank you for the e-mail updates.

Record Power Herald Lathe
Two word review - nope....This lathe can be summed up in short by saying its a great value but that would not be enough. I bought this from Steve at The Wood Turning Store after having sold a PSI lathe I used for pens/bottle stoppers and a WEN lathe that was bigger. This blows both of them away. Its pricier but worth every penny. With a low speed of 95 and high of over 3600 you can do just about anything. The turning head stock which allows you to do bowl of about 22" on a 14" machine is very handy. The torque on the motor exceeds any other lathe in its class that I have used - including Jet. It does not have a self ejecting tail stock but the knock out rod just takes a tap and your changing centers. If you are looking at lathes in this class, do yourself a favor and consider this one. The value if far greater than the price once you understand what you are getting. I'm very happy with it.
