Revo 24|36 Lathe

Sharing all of the outstanding features of the best selling 18/36REVO, the bigger version increases the bowl turning capacity to a massive 24" diameter over the bed.

One of the striking features of the lathe is an ergonomic panel with controls mounted in an anodized aluminium plate. The speed is smoothly controlled with a tactile rubber augmented knurled aluminium dial. Add the blue hue of the speed indicator and this machine stands out from the competition. In addition to the headstock control panel, the 24/36REVO has a secondary control panel which you can choose to mount onto the right hand end of the bed or onto the tailstock.

The solid bed, with an impressive width of 208mm, is made of high-quality steel ASTM A36 (tougher than cast iron), and is precisely ground providing smooth travel of the headstock, tailstock and toolrest. The spindle is run by a highly efficient induction motor with a VFD frequency convertor for high torque even at lower speeds. The speed range can be changed with a clever one-lever mechanism.

The headstock, tailstock and toolrest of the lathe are made from cast-iron securing minimum vibration and high comfort for turning of over sized pieces. Tailstock and Headstock cam lock levers are placed on the back of the machine and will not get in the way. All cam lock levers have soft grip handles and a long length resulting in a firm feel with no deflection.

A redesigned banjo features more compact design, 45˚ cutout, wider base, increased eccentric rod diameter and larger hanger resulting in a more solid feel when locking in place.

The cast iron floor stand has had the material thickness increased by 80%, over the 18/36REVO, to handle the extra weight and stability requirement.

A further upgrade is the front bearing which has a 30% higher load rating than the standard bearing.  

Supplied with 2MT four prong drive centre, 2MT revolving tail centre, 75mm (3") diameter faceplate, knock-out bar, onboard storage for accessories, 1.8m power cable with industrial 16 amp plug. 

Optional Accessories

Swing Away Tailstock: A fast and convenient way to move the tailstock out of the way is this hinged extension bed, which can quickly be unclipped and swings the bed and tailstock away.  

Heavy Duty Wheel Kit: Attaches to each end of the floor stand. With foot lever action, assisted by a gas strut to take the weight, moving this heavy lathe around is a breeze.  

Comparator: The comparator set is a method of mounting a spindle to be copied so that it sits at eye level. The work piece can then be easily compared to the template. 

Halogen Flood Light: Dust proof ribbed aluminium case, swivels 320 degrees and provides bright glare free illumination on the work piece.
