Nebula goes far beyond any other lathe in its class: just a twist of a knob and speed can be adjusted from 100 rpm up to 4000 rpm with no sacrifice in torque. Nebula’s outstanding machine features and specifications include a 360-degree pivoting and sliding head, an 18” (457mm) over bed swing, 35” (890mm) diameter capacity outboard (with optional outrigger kit), and 25” (635mm) between centers. Whether you’re turning large projects or small, Nebula’s unparalleled, smart motor technology from Striatech has an easy-to-use, software-driven controller and provides the ultimate in smooth performance, intelligent control, and power under load.
Features
Smart Direct Drive: With no belts or pulleys, simply choose your material, pick up your chisel, and get to work. The 1 ¼” 8 TPI lathe spindle is the rotor of Nebula’s smart, direct drive motor from Striatech: it has more than enough power (Peak Power 2.5HP at 220V and 2.0HP at 110V) – and high torque power at low rpms – with an instantly adjustable speed range of 100 rpm to 4,000 rpm. It also has a 50 rpm drying mode that’s designed for your finishing processes. Nebula can virtually handle any conceivable project requirement.
Intelligent Computer Control: Nebula software applications open up a whole new universe of lathe control functions that do not exist in traditional wood lathes. Using its superior, direct drive system, all the power you desire is at your fingertips for smooth, vibration-free efficiency over Nebula’s vast speed range.
Wired Remote Controller: RPM display, speed control knob, on/off, also works with braking function. EMS: Emergency Stop Switch. Strong magnet backing for convenient positioning for the user.
Customize Speed Settings: There are 8 speed customizable speed settings. These are convenient for presetting your favorite turning speeds or for presetting specific project speeds (from rough, shaping, fine detail and finishing).
