Scheppach DMS900

Scheppach DMS900 heavy duty lathe with unique clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation.

The Scheppach DMS900 woodturning lathe is designed with the committed artisan in mind as well as the professional who requires a machine with an excellent specification at a competitive price. Built of cast iron the dms series lathes are made to last. Powered by a very quiet running, high torque 0,75 HP induction motor, it gives ten speeds ranging from 500 rpm 2,100 rpm and is therefore ideal for small diameter spindle work through to large bowl turning. Speed selection is made by a conveniently placed lever.

Both the headstock, tailstock and lathe bed are made from solid cast iron which has been accurately machined to allow for smooth movement and minimal levels of vibration. The pivoting headstock turns 360° and locks to facilitate outboard turning. Unique to the scheppach dms series is the clockwise and anticlockwise spindle rotation which offers the advantage of positioning the tool rest to the left or right when swivelling the headstock. The L&R turning facility also produces perfect sanding results on the finished workpiece irrespective of the lay of the wood grain. The tailstock is bored to allow for long hole boring when making table and standard lamps.
The Scheppach DMS900 will give satisfaction from the day of purchase and long into the future.
