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".

- Locking the spindle disconnects the controls, so no more burnt belts if you try to start the lathe with the spindle lock engaged.
