Description
Description
Use the headstock's outboard threaded spindle and optional 13-1/2" Extension (70-903) to add 4" of extra turning diameter capacity. Mount this same extension to the front of the lathe bed, and with the remounted tool rest, you can safely turn the outside edges or backs of bowls. Lastly, the right bed end of the lathe is machined to attach the optional 13-1/2" or the longer 24" extension (70-904) for increasing the working distance from 20" to 44" for spindles.
Equipped with a powerful 1-1/2 HP TEFC DC motor, the Model 70-1420VSR provides ample power for demanding turning projects. The lathe features 24 indexing positions, each 15° apart, allowing for precise and accurate workpiece positioning during machining operations. The variable speed control allows for easy spindle speed adjustment within three ranges from 250 to 3850 RPM, providing optimal speed for various materials and turning applications. The heavy-duty cast-iron bed and headstock provide stability and durability for years of reliable use. Convenient built-in storage compartment for tools and accessories, keeping everything within reach and organized.

Why Buy From Project Foundry?
Pro-grade equipment, real support, and a buying experience built around big-ticket gear. Here's exactly what you get with every order.
Hassle-Free Freight Delivery
Most equipment ships by freight on a pallet. Here's what to expect: orders process in 1 to 2 business days, with typical transit of 4 to 7 business days. The carrier calls ahead to schedule a curbside delivery appointment, so keep a good phone number on your order. Liftgate service is included on many items. Large equipment like car lifts and attachments are too big for a liftgate and need a forklift or similar to unload. No equipment on site? You've got options: have it delivered somewhere that does, like a neighbor's place or your workplace, or have it sent to a local freight terminal such as Estes or Old Dominion, where you can pick it up with a trailer and their forklift loads it for you. Contact us to arrange terminal pickup. Inspect before you sign: note any damage on the delivery receipt before signing, and for concealed damage, send us photos within 48 hours to protect your replacement coverage. Questions about delivery to your address? Call or text 331-272-5655. Full details are on our Shipping Policy.
Lowest Prices Online
We keep every price at the lowest point the manufacturer allows, so you're always starting from the best price we're permitted to advertise. Want to do better than that? We offer additional discounts for new customers, holidays, veterans, healthcare workers, and more. Call 331-272-5655 for exclusive pricing. Paying by wire, ACH, or check? Take an extra 3% off, since we skip the credit card processing fee and pass that savings straight to you.
Found it cheaper from another authorized dealer? Tell us. We'll verify they're a legitimate dealer and do our best to match or beat the price. We don't match eBay or marketplace listings. Reach us at 331-272-5655 before you order. Full terms are on our Price Match Guarantee page.
Free Warehouse Pickup
Many items are available for free pickup at our supplier warehouses, so you can skip freight charges entirely. Availability depends on the product and brand. Once your order is ready, we'll send written authorization with the location and pickup instructions, so please wait for that confirmation before heading out. Plan to pick up within 48 to 72 hours of the ready notice. Want to know if your item qualifies? Call or text 331-272-5655.
Authorized Dealer, Full Factory Warranty
We're an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. That means factory-fresh equipment with the full manufacturer warranty, never gray-market product from a random marketplace seller. If you ever need a warranty claim, we help you through it.
Heads up: the equipment world has its share of fake websites and unauthorized sellers pushing prices that are too good to be true. If you're ever unsure about a seller, reach out. We'll help you spot the red flags, even if you don't end up buying from us.
Flexible Monthly Financing
Spread the cost out with Shop Pay Installments. Break a big purchase into manageable monthly payments and get your equipment now instead of saving up for it. Select Shop Pay at checkout to see your options.
