Shop Fox W1704 8" x 13" Benchtop Wood Lathe
Ideal for pen turning and small projects.
The Shop Fox W1704 Wood Lathe is the benchtop model that pen turners and miniature hobbyists demand.
The variable-speed spindle easily adjusts between 750-3200 RPM with the twist of a dial.
The W1704 features cast-iron construction for stability, a 5-3/4" faceplate, 8" of swing over the bed, and 13" of distance between centers.
This lathe includes interchangeable 4-1/4" and 7" tool rests. Either tool rest will lock into a sturdy, quick-adjust base to maximize support where cutting occurs and minimizes leverage when in use.
Extra-large knurled spindle and tailstock knobs help provide an ergonomic grip for manually rotating your workpiece and changing out centers.
