3 HP Upgrade (220 volt)
$ 330.00
Why get the 3 HP? It’s a little like buying a pickup with the big V8 for those times you pull your RV over the mountains. Because you will occasionally turn big wood with this lathe, you will appreciate the extra power. It’s also much cheaper to order this option with the lathe, as you are just paying the incremental cost between the 2HP and 3HP. If you order the 2HP and later want to change, both the motor and drive need to be replaced, and the retail value of these two items combined is greater than $1,000.

Click on the image to start an animation of the Tilt-Away in action.
Robust's patented Tilt-Away is the very best option for getting your tailstock completely out of the way for turning. It not only does that, it gives you a safe storage space for the heavy tailstock, and quickly realigns it with the lathe bed when you need it again.
The Tilt-Away is our most popular American Beauty option and 98% of these lathes are shipped with it. We are often told “It’s worth its weight in gold”. You won’t be disappointed. -
Quick view2 HP upgrade (220 volt)
$ 220.00Add to cartDetails
If you’re just working over the bed and plan to keep your work to less than 16” diameter, you’ll probably be OK with the 1.5HP. Also, if you only have access to the 110 volt electricity, you’ll be restricted to the 1.5HP. But if you have access to 220 and if you plan on taking the gap out and turning larger work, get the 2HP. It is expensive to make this change later on, as both the motor and the drive need to be swapped out. -
Quick viewVacuum Adapter
$ 109.00Add to cartDetails
A vacuum adapter is the rotary coupling needed to connect a vacuum hose to the lathe spindle. It simply slides into the handwheel end of the spindle and is held in place with two 0-rings. The threads for the fittings are standard ¼” NPT (National Pipe Thread), available online or at any hardware store. This is the only part of the vacuum system we sell. -
Quick view16” Bed Extension
$ 595.00Add to cartDetails
The bed extension increases spindle capacity 16”. It is made from the same heavy materials as the lathe bed. If you have a Tilt-Away, bolt the bed extension to the headstock end. Buy it with your lathe or add it later.
