RIKON 30 in. x 40 in. R Lathe with Sliding Bed is a heavy-duty lathe designed to enhance your turning capabilities with its innovative sliding bed feature. This lathe allows you to easily increase the turning capacity by simply flipping a switch, extending the between-centers distance from 20 inches to 40 inches. Additionally, the sliding bed increases the swing over the lower bed from 23-7/32 inches to 31-1/4 inches, making it for turning large bowls or platters. Built for durability and precision, the lathe is constructed from solid cast iron and steel to handle the stress of working with large diameter wood pieces. Powered by a robust 3-horsepower, 220-volt motor and equipped with four heavy-duty bearings in the headstock, it ensures smooth and accurate performance. The digital speed controls a wide range of speeds from 20 to 3850 RPM, displayed clearly on an easy-to-read LCD screen. Additional features include a motorized sliding bed, a 3-step multi-V pulley system with 36 index positions, a magnetic control box that can be positioned anywhere along the long bed, and a sturdy cast iron banjo tool rest base. This lathe combines power, versatility, and space-saving design to meet the needs of professional turners. Model Number: 70-3040
