TURBO T-60S 24"X48" Wood Lathe With Servo Motor

Great lathe at a very fair price.

Everything was well packaged and the shipper helped me put the crate in my garage. I have a few minor issues with the lathe. 1. You have to move the headstock and the large control box together. If one modular connector were added to the wiring harness, you could disconnect the motor and the headstock from the control box. This would make moving them easier and safer. 2. The magnets on the emergency stop/start switch aren’t strong enough to hold the switch on a vertical surface. 2. The machining on the bottom of the banjo is very poor, it scrapes across the nicely milled ways. 3. The machining on the rest of the machine is first rate. I have seen this comment from other reviewers and witnessed it on another Harvey T-60S. 4. 5. The tool banjo is very short so even my long shank tool rests that I use on my PM 3520c are too short. I gave it 5 stars as the machine is solidly made, vibration free, and very quiet in operation. The lathe will run at a much lower speed than advertised which is helpful for sanding and finishing. I was able to get it down to less than 10 RPM. The speed indicator doesn’t work when it is that slow (it just reads zero). All in all a great product at a very fair price.

Received my new lathe. Very heavy duty. Still setting it up. Can’t wait to turn with it.

Shipping updates were very good the entire process. The machine arrived in perfect condition with no damage from the shipping distance, across the country. Have used the machine for a little over a week and I am very pleased with the construction and the power. I have this lathe, a Harvey table saw and a Harvey band saw and I am well pleased with each of these machines. I would recommend Harvey to anyone who is serious about power and quality.
