It's Here !!! Delta 12-1/2" Variable-Speed MIDI LATHE


Powerful 1 HP Max, 1,725 RPM motor
Large 12-1/2" swing capacity provides the largest capacity in its class.
Best-in-class speed range from 250-4,000 RPM giving the slowest low end speed in its class for large turning and fast high end speed for small turnings
Forward and Reversing function allows the turner to achieve a superior finish. Sanding a turned piece with the grain causes the wood fibers to lay down and remain rough. Sanding a turned piece against the grain will cut the wood fibers smooth. Rotating the turned piece in both directions is the way to achieve this super smooth finish. With our competitors the turner would need to remount the workpiece backward to achieve this dual rotation. This is time consuming and often impossible. With the Delta 46-460 it is a simple flip of the switch
Patented belt tensioning system for easy and quick speed changes and sets the belt at the correct tension every time for maximum power transfer and longer tool life
Indexing pin to lock the head stock spindle in 24 different locations for fluting and other decorative applications
All cast-iron construction provides stability and is extremely durable
Includes 3" face plate, 6" tool rest and 10" tool rest. Turning long spindles require either a longer tool rest or the user to continually move the short tool rest. Turning short work requires a short spindle; the long spindle will not allow the turner to get close enough to the piece
Over headstock On/Off switch provides easy in use access.
With a maximum distance between centers of 42" (with bed extension), the MIDI LATHE turns objects as long as a chair leg or as short as a thimble
Ball-bearing live center
Heavy-duty, steel knockout bar
Extension Bed (Model 46-463) is a 25-1/2" long cast-iron bed that increases the overall bed length of the 46-460 to 42"
Electronic Variable Speed with three pulley speed ranges provide the required speeds needed to turn a project without changing belt position.
6 Groove belt provides superior power to turn large objects.
Large up front belt access allows the user to easily change speeds.
On board storage for easy access to adjustment tools.
6" and 10" Tool Rests provides tool support in a variety of turning applications.
