Draper Variable Speed Wood Lathe with Digital Display, 750W

Precision, power, and versatility in one cast iron package — the Draper WTL1100 is a serious woodturning lathe built for turners who demand more from their workshop machinery.

Driven by a powerful 750W motor with 10 variable speeds ranging from 500 to 2000rpm, the WTL1100 gives you full control over your turning speed to suit everything from roughing out large blanks to fine finishing work. The digital speed display takes the guesswork out of speed selection, letting you dial in exactly the right setting for the timber and technique in hand.

With a generous 1100mm between centres and a 360mm diameter turning capacity, this lathe handles everything from slender spindles to substantial bowl blanks with equal confidence. The fully reversible and rotating headstock adds a further dimension of flexibility, allowing outboard turning of large bowls that would otherwise exceed the swing capacity — a feature that separates a capable hobbyist lathe from a genuinely professional tool.

Cast iron construction throughout delivers the rigidity and mass needed to dampen vibration, resulting in a smoother, quieter cut and a better surface finish on your work. At 92kg, the WTL1100 has the weight to stay planted during even aggressive cuts.

A no-volt switch provides safety as standard, and the lathe arrives ready to work with a 150mm faceplate, 300mm tool rest, and 4-prong drive centre all included.
