Draper 230V Variable Speed Mini Wood Lathe, 250W

Compact, capable, and ready to turn — the Draper WTL330A mini wood lathe brings the pleasure of woodturning to workshops and workbenches of all sizes. Whether you're just starting out or looking for a dedicated small-work machine, this lightweight yet heavy duty lathe delivers solid performance without demanding a great deal of space or budget.

The variable speed motor covers a range of 750 to 3200rpm, giving you the flexibility to work across a variety of turning operations — from roughing and shaping at lower speeds to fine finishing and sanding at the top end. With a 300mm centre turning capacity and 200mm swing over the bed, the WTL330A is ideally suited to small bowls, decorative pieces, tool handles, chess pieces, and pen turning.

The heavy duty cast iron bed provides the structural rigidity essential for smooth, vibration-free turning. At just 21kg, the WTL330A is light enough to lift onto a bench or store away between sessions, yet substantial enough to remain stable and planted while you work.

Safety is covered by a no-volt overload switch, which prevents the lathe from restarting unexpectedly after a power interruption. The machine arrives ready to use with two faceplates (50mm and 150mm), a 175mm tool rest, and a 3/4" drive spur all included.
