T-40 Turbo Wood Lathe

Turning Your Ideas into Reality

The beauty of woodworking is experienced by those who work hard at it and who constantly look for inspiration to improve. Using a T-40 enhances the enjoyment and allows you to aspire to new levels.

The Harvey T-40 Woodworking Lathe is unique in that it is considered at a 14" (360 mm) swing to be a smaller lathe. However, the T-40 has been designed on the scale of a large lathe in regards to casting size, power and controls. The T-40 incorporates an Industrial Servo Motor, commonly used on metal working lathes for its powerful torque, which allows the T-40 a greater torque and speed capacity. The raw materials of each part of the lathe are all select, premium materials for both aesthetics and practical functions.

The body of the T-40 has been painted with a stoving varnish providing a durable, long-lasting finish that offers more resistance against scratches, chipping, wear and fading. Even the logos and nameplate have been upgraded.

The fit and finish are engineered and crafted not only for a flawless operation but also for an unparalleled personal experience. The T-40 lets you experience the "fine" in fine woodworking.

One-of-a-kind Midi Monster

Super RPM Stability

Name: TURBO T-40 360 x 610mm Wood Lathe With Servo Motor
Brand: In Stock
Price: 2499.0 EUR
Availability: InStock

The 220V Industrial Servo Spindle Motor which is normally used on metalworking machining centers solves the issues of insufficient torque and drag found on most small lathes in the market.

With a marvelous 300% overload capacity and an instant response to torque demands, the T-40 runs smoothly in operation.

Instant Torque Response to Dynamic Turning

The design of the servo motor and drive system is not only strong, but strong along the entire range from 60-4300 RPM.

Whether working near the top end or the low end, the system will continue to supply enough power to meet your demand without the surging that you get with some lathes.

Torque response 100 times quicker than “normal” lathes (2 micro seconds).

So for truly smooth operating conditions, even at the lowest speeds, choose the T-40 lathe.

Power with an Instant Response

The servo motor is managed by an instant response system within the drive computer which reacts to changes in the torque placed on it.

When turning, the changing torque level is measured constantly and the servo motor will speed up or slow down in order to provide a smooth, consistent operating speed.

The servo motor can provide up to 2.2kW at its peak, an incredible 12.54 Nm (Newton Meters). This means that the T-40 is capable of handling almost any kind of difficult cut.

Stability and Versatility

The T-40 has impressive capacities: 14" (360mm) over the bed; and 24" (610mm) between the centers. The head also swivels up to 90 degrees for larger diameter bowls.

The T-40 is an awesome 178lbs. (80kg) providing it with the mass needed for stability and dampening vibrations in almost any operation.

Attention to the Details Makes for

A Unique Experience

Aesthetically Designed Tool Rest

The shape of the tool rest has been redesigned for operator ease and comfort.

Upgraded Live Center for More Stability of Workpiece

The live center is now made of carbon alloy tool steel.

With its hardness, resistance to abrasion and ability to retain shape at increased temperatures, the live center now offers more stability and accuracy.

Upgraded Handwheel

The handwheel of the head stock has been enlarged both in size and length for operator ease and safety.
