VICMARC Lathe - VL150 V3 EVS

VICMARC Lathe - VL150 V3 EVS

The VL150 V3 EVS (Electronic Variable Speed) is the latest version of Vicmarc's flagship midi lathe, with several meaningful upgrades over the V2. The 0.75kW motor delivers up to 150% torque on low RPM. Full cast iron construction makes this an extremely rigid and high performing lathe, and the new remote magnetic switch box lets you mount the controls wherever they best suit your setup.

First to introduce MT2 and taper roller bearings on this size lathe, the Vicmarc VL150 is in a class of its own compared to other midi lathes on the market. The best value feature-by-feature of any midi lathe sold in the world, this lathe is made to last a lifetime. Vicmarc is the midi lathe of choice for those seeking a quality compact lathe.
