14-inch wood lathe with pivoting headstock for outboard turning and 12-inch offset tool rest
3/4-horsepower, 9.8 amp motor; 450-2,600 rpm; 40 inches between centers; 14-inch swing over bed
Cast-iron and steel legs
Lathe and stand included
68 by 20 by 54 inches; 300 pounds; 2-year warranty
Manufacturer Description
With an all ball-bearing 3/4 horsepower induction motor and its electronic variable speed range of 450-2,600 rpm, this lathe is the right choice for beginners and experienced woodworkers. It has the capacity to turn spindles up to 40 inches long and for faceplate turning, the swing over the tool rest base is 10-1/8 inches and swing over the bed is 14 inches. The headstock pivots for outboard turning and can be positioned anywhere along the bed. Cast-iron construction and a ribbed design give the lathe bed its strength while reducing vibration. The hollow tailstock ram travels 3 inches and allows the use of a hollow cup center and long boring bits for drilling into work pieces such as lamp bases. With the unit stopped, the 24 separate lockable divisions on the spindle and detents on the headstock make it easy to sand flats or make precise calculations without the need to remove the work piece from the lathe. Easy to use controls like multi-position locking levers and an oversized tool rest locking handle make for convenient adjustments, while the on/off switch is located high above the motor assembly for quick and easy access. The included stand has a wide footprint designed for maximum stability. If a change in spindles is necessary the standard 1-8 right-hand thread allows the use of any standard threaded spindles.

Customer Reviews & Comments
I have been using this lathe for approximately 1 year and this is what I have found. I bought the lathe as a first lathe. I was inexperienced and on a budget. With those things in mind, it did well for the first few months. All the items were there, it shipped fast and was not difficult to assemble without assistance from anyone else, though I recommend getting a friend to help with some of the lifting. I noticed a rattle and some vibration, but it was very minimal and it didn't seem to affect performance. I satisfactorily turned several bowls and a lot of spindle work. The motor gets a lot of bang out of the 3/4 horses. The mobile headstock is very versital. The tool rest is quite good. For a starter lathe it is a nice tool. Now to the problems. 1) The base is not heavy or rigid enough. That is an easy fix and not a real detractor. 2) The tailstock base does not lock down well enough and I find myself retightening it frequently. 3) The biggest problem now is the constant worsening of the rattling and the vibration it causes, which translates into the spindle and handwheel. It makes it impossible to rechuch anything accurately and vibration is extreme, even with small loads. One of the pulleys is definately mis-machined and has both horizontal and vertical displacement while running. Delta has the pulleys on back order from their overseas supplier. I therefore took it in to the local authorized dealer and have yet to hear back. A wobbley handwheel and spindle movement make turning unenjoyable. Searching the web and the message boards, I have seen about an even number of people saying they have had no problems as those who have had worse problems than I have. Most seem to revolve around the reeves drive and quality control...Perhaps the overseas manufacture of this lathe is at fault, I don't know. If Delta could fix the problems with the drive and pulleys, this could be a great mid range lathe. With the mechanical difficulties I am having now with only moderate use (1-2 weekends a month), I could not recommend this lathe unless you test the specific one you are buying to make sure it is in good working order.
