Description

The Rikon® 14" x 20" VSR Midi Lathe - 1-1/2 HP 1 Ph 115V is the largest benchtop lathe in the Rikon® line of machinery. This upgraded model gives woodturners greater stock-holding capacity both in swing and distance between centers, allowing you to turn larger bowls and longer spindles. Adding three machined surfaces to mount optional extensions increases the working dimensions even further.
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.

  • Powerful 1-1/2 HP TEFC DC motor
  • Machined bed and matching components give precise alignment
  • Ball-bearing construction for smooth, precise spindle operation

  • Magnets on back of the control box allow it to be placed anywhere easily accessible to turners for quick controlling of the lathe speeds or emergency stopping

    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.

    Project Foundry
    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.
