<h2>Home made wood lathe</h2>

<p>Not having the budget of a prince, I made my own wood lathe.</p>
<p>It can turn bowls up to 38cm in diameter, has a 1400W 1400 rpm motor, and so far 3 speeds, 300, 600 and 1400 rpm.</p>
<p>Today I'm having a lot of fun with it, and this kind of article is always a target for endless improvements.</p>

<h3>Update:</h3>
<p>The bearing support wore out and rather than build a new one I replaced it with a <a href="http://wittamore.fr/articles/2024/A-new-lathe.html">Coronet Herald</a></p>
