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. -
