Charnwood W815VP Mini Lathe with Viper 2 Scroll Chuck
Charnwood Charnwood W815VP Mini Lathe with Viper 2 Scroll Chuck. This is therefore a complete package deal of lathe and chuck hence making it perfect for a new wood turner or experienced turners whos larger chucks will not fit. The W815 is therefore ideal for the production of smaller pieces. It is also ideal where the workshop size does not allow for a longer lathe bed. Consequently because of its small size it is recommended for Pen Turning.
The Charnwood W815 Mini Lathe bed, headstock and tailstock are all constructed from cast iron. This significantly reduces vibration allowing free running. Also the compact size of the Charnwood W815 Mini Lathe is a great benefit. It allows easy movement as the weight is manageable.Therefore the lathe can be removed from the bench when not in use.
