The Powermatic PM2014 Lathe is designed for serious woodturners who want professional performance in a compact, versatile machine. This lathe uses an inverter system to deliver smooth 230V, three-phase performance while operating from a standard 115V, single-phase power source, making it ideal for home shops and small professional environments! It even comes with an ergonomic stand that is height adjustable from 34" to 46" from centerline to floor.
With a 14" swing over the bed and 20" between centers, the PM2014 handles a wide range of turning projects, and capacity can be expanded with the optional The sliding headstock allows the operator to reposition the spindle at the end of the bed for improved access during outboard turning.
A heavy cast-iron bed minimizes vibration and provides stability when working with larger or unbalanced stock. The magnetic, repositionable control box features a digital spindle speed readout and indexing display for precise control. Variable-speed operation allows smooth adjustments to match material size and turning requirements.
