Product Details
R3 Lathe Variable Speed - 355mm x 510mm
This premium performance lathe is favoured by both professional and discerning home woodturners, as it features class-leading levels of concentricity, electronic variable speed control, reverse action, an ultra quiet DC motor and a vibration dampening system. Weighing in at 57kg, the vibration level on this lathe is exceptionally low, due to the heavy duty grey iron castings which have the mass needed to dampen and absorb vibration. The castings are CNC machined to exacting tolerances to ensure perfect alignment of the headstock and tailstock and the bed is CNC machined and brush finished to allow for smooth movement of the banjo and tailstock.
The drive spindle is precisely aligned and runs in large roller bearings to ensure class-leading concentricity. The drive spindle has a M33 x 3.5mm thread with a No 2 morse taper to accept industry standard chucks and fitments. The tailstock has No 2 morse taper which is hollowed out to accept drill bits when turning lampstands that require electric cable to be passed through. You can turn bowls up to 355mm and spindles up to 510mm , which can be extended to 1120mm with the optional bed extension.
The lathe is powered by a high torque, DC brush motor which is whisper quiet in use, even at maximum speed and under full load. A non-slip poly V belt efficiently transmits power from the motor whilst the motor controller automatically increases the level of torque to maintain the speed, as load on the workpiece is increased. The step pulleys, in conjunction with the variable speed control results in three speed ranges of 250 to 720rpm, 600 to 1700rpm and 1200 to 3550rpm, enabling fine tuning of speed to suit delicate work, larger diameters and out of balance work pieces. The LED digital read-out of the spindle speed helps control your work and is positioned on the tailstock to offer perfect visibility. The reverse rotation is ideal for sanding and polishing when final finishing.This is a premium build lathe, which will give years of vibration free, quiet, powerful and controlled turning.
Precision 100 Woodturning Chuck
Precision engineered and beautifully balanced, it offers superior performance combined with rock-solid holding power and excellent load bearing capability. The chuck is specifically designed so the jaws cut into the wood to provide a class leading clamping force, unlike other woodturning chucks that use engineering jaw profiles which crush the wood fibres and do not grip the workpiece as securely.
This chuck is extremely strong and durable, as it is machined from a special grade of medium-tensile steel, which is normally used for the manufacture of high performance turbo impellors, pistons and gears. Using this steel allows for closer tolerances during the manufacturing process which results in excellent concentricity to minimize vibration and to ensure that a chatter-free, super fine finish can be achieved by the woodturner. The precision machined scroll mechanism and the high ratio gearing combine to ensure a strong grip irrespective of workpiece size. The four jaws open and close using a T-handled key, allowing for one handed operation, leaving one hand free to support and balance your workpiece when mounting and dis-mounting the workpiece.
The chuck kit contains the Precision 100 chuck body, 70mm dovetail jaws, 75mm face plate ring, 50mm pin jaws and a woodscrew chuck. This wide array of jaws allows for all popular turning projects including; spindles, bowls, goblets, candlesticks, pepper mills, pens and pencils and even turning unseasoned and green timber.
Premium Cryogenic M2 HSS Woodturning Tools - Set of 6
This premium set of Cryogenic M2 HSS turning tools features six full-size tools allowing for the professional turning of both bowl and spindle projects including candlesticks, goblets, standard lamps, pepper pots, bowls, platters and pens. Beautifully presented in a wooden case, this set comprises of a 1" roughing gouge for taking the corners off square stock, to make it round, 3/4" oval skew chisel for creating a smooth cylindrical finish, 3/8" spindle gouge for adding detail, such as coves and beads, 1/8" diamond parting tool for cutting deep grooves or releasing finished work from a waste wood base, 1/2" bowl gouge for the hollowing out of goblets and bowls and a 3/4" square nose scraper to give perfectly flat bottoms to the insides of bowls.
These premium turning tools are made from M2 high-speed steel which has been cryogenically hardened, to ensure an extremely long service life. Cryogenic hardening is a technical process, where the steel is cooled down to -185°C after hardening, resulting in an edge that will last up to 5 times longer than conventionally hardened high-speed steel. ©

Paul Coyne
Excellent piece of kit, it's so quiet don't know that it's running. Superb build quality no vibration, wish I'd bought one ages ago. It's just a joy to change speeds, makes turning and finishing a complete job and a pleasure. Would highly recommend this to anyone, came within a couple days of ordering and it's so well packaged. We'll done Rutlands.
David Ryder
Thought I'd upgrade to this Premium Lathe from Rutlands with variable speed from the original lathe that I bought from Rutlands about four years ago. That original lathe served me very well as I eased myself into turning after a gap of 52 years when i last turned wood at school. My new lather has now been put into service. Powerful, unbelievably quiet, smooth and so well put together. Its a dream to use and I'm so glad I took the plunge to upgrade. Delivery was fast, as you'd expect from Rutlands as well. I'm very happy with this new purchase and am looking forward to many happy hours turning on it. Alignment is spot on and its well engineered. 5 stars in my book.
Geoff B
Very impressed with how quiet running and vibration free this lathe is in comparison to my previous Record lathe. At 60kg it takes some lifting to initially position on the bench but once in place its not going anywhere. Never used reverse on a lathe before but find it great for sanding and finishing. The castings are finely machined and the finish is first rate. Delighted.
Paul Jones
I am delighted with this lathe. It is much bigger in the flesh than it looks on the website. It was delivered in two large boxes and needed both the driver and myself to carry each box to my workshop. Assembly was straight forward as one box contains the headstock, motor and tailstock and the other box has the bed and fitments. At near on 60kg it sits rock solid on my bench, with no vibration what so ever. It just hums quietly along. I turned a 14" x 3" bowl out of Bubinga and even when initially roughing out the spindle speed did not slow at all. Would i buy again - without hesitation.
