For almost a century, Powermatic has been a trusted name among woodworkers. As a leading brand in woodturning, Powermatic proudly presents the powerful PM2014 Lathe. This lathe only needs a 115V single - phase power source, but its inverter delivers 1HP, 230V, 3PH performance. It gives you maximum speed with minimum input. It has a 14 - inch swing over the bed and 20 inches between centers, which can be extended with an optional 13 - inch bed extension. The premium sliding headstock and removable tailstock offer more clearance for outboard turning. A robust cast - iron bed reduces vibration when working on larger and rougher pieces. The digital indexing and spindle speed readout are clearly visible on the magnetic repositionable control box. The new ergonomic stand can be adjusted from 34 to 46 inches from the centerline to the floor, making it accessible for users of different heights. Key features include Acme threads on the tailstock for smooth operation and long - lasting use, an attached tool caddie for easy access to tools, a non - marring banjo clamp for solid tool rest placement, chrome - trimmed ergonomic hand wheels, an 8 - inch tool rest with a 1 - inch post, easy disassembly for portability, a main power disconnect on the rear of the headstock for safety, 24 positive locking indexing positions for simplified indexing, variable speeds from 15 to 3600 RPMs, and an inverter that keeps torque consistent by constantly monitoring the motor.
Using the Powermatic 2014 Lathe is easy. First, make sure it's properly connected to a 115V single - phase power source. You can adjust the speed according to your needs, with a range from 15 to 3600 RPMs. The control box shows the spindle speed clearly. When you're doing outboard turning, use the sliding headstock and removable tailstock to get more clearance. The tool caddie is right there for you to grab centers, wrenches, and other accessories easily. For safety, always use the main power disconnect on the rear of the headstock. When it comes to maintenance, keep the cast - iron bed clean. You can use a soft cloth to wipe it down after each use. Check the Acme threads on the tailstock regularly to make sure they're in good condition. If you need to move the lathe, it disassembles easily. Just follow the steps and it'll be ready for transport. Also, be aware that this product has a Prop 65 warning about cancer and reproductive harm, so take necessary precautions.
