The main feature of the S16 is its removable bed section. Removing the section creates a gap to let you turn a bowl or platter up to 32". Moving the section to the end of the lathe increases spindle turning capacity by 14".
Features:- The motor drive (aka: "VFD" or "Inverter") lives behind the black panel that doubles as a tool rack. Another tool rack is built into the top of the headstock.
- 1.5 HP motor, 110 volt.
- Locking the spindle disconnects the controls, so no more burnt belts if you try to start the lathe with the spindle lock engaged.
