Please Note: Certain lathes are advertised as 12" lathes, when in fact they are 12.5" lathes. You'll want to select your toolrests from the 12.5-14" selection page. Also, the Jet 1236 uses the rests on that page as well, as the banjo on the 1236 is quite short.
If you have the room, you can’t go wrong with the Sweet 16 Long bed. Great for people doing longer work and folks who like to make furniture. Spindle capacity is 36” in normal configuration and 50” with the gap used as an extension.
The basic Scout lathe with 1.0 HP motor, wired to your choice of 110 or 220 volt. Does not include the Universal Stand. Set on a 30” tall bench, the spindle will be 45” from the floor.
The long bed version of our most popular lathe, the AB LONG has all the benefits of the AB STANDARD but increases spindle capacity to 52” (58” with optional Tilt-Away). 25” swing capacity. The AB LONG is also very popular for deep hollowing. Price does not include the Tilt-Away or other popular options like the 3HP motor.
