Rikon 14 inch x 20 inch VSR Midi Lathe 70-1420VSR

Rikon 14" x 20" VSR Midi Lathe 70-1420VSR

Rikon's 70-1420VSR is the largest benchtop lathe in the RIKON line of machinery. This upgraded model gives woodturners increased spindle-to-bed height so that larger diameter work can be done. The addition of 3 machined surfaces to mount optional extensions increase the working dimensions even further.

Use the headstock’s outboard threaded spindle and optional Rikon 13-1/2" bed extension (70-903) to add 4" of extra turning diameter capacity. Mount this same extension to the front of the lathe bed, and with the remounted toolrest the outside edges or backs of bowls and platters can be safely turned. Lastly, for spindle work, the right bed end of the lathe is machined to attach the Rikon 13-1/2" bed extension (70-903) to increase the working distance to 33.5", or use the longer 24" Extension (70-901) for a total distance of 44".
