## Questions & Answers

**Q: Maximum wood size**
A: Hello,

The maximum distance between centers is 457mm and it has a max diameter over the bed at 305mm, that being said I wouldn't get a piece of timber that's that big and turn it because it will break the motor. 

Kind regards

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent bit of kit
*by G***T on 24 March 2024*

Been wanting to try woodturning for ages now and have had my eye on this lathe. Finally able to afford it with some safety wear and tools. Wish I’d taken this hobby up years ago. Absolutely love it. The lathe is a very sturdy machine weighing 40 kilos so it needs a decent top to sit on. Everything about it is quality and simple to set up and use. Even changing the belt to change the speed is a doddle tho not sure you need to as the variable speed control is enough just by turning the control knob. Very quiet when running. Can not fault it
