The Spindle – The Backbone of the 2436
- 51 mm diameter, 40 cm length, with a 16 mm through-hole
- Made from fully hardened, high-alloy steel with an incredible tolerance of 0.0001 mm (!)
- Runs on four bearings: two massive 45 mm bearings at the front, and two 40 mm bearings at the rear
- Maintenance-free and permanently lubricated
- Equipped with a groove for an Anti-Spindle-Release ring (ASR) – safe to use in both forward and reverse rotation
- The drive runs via three pulleys with a 10-groove Poly V-belt. Should the belt ever fail, it can be replaced in under 15 minutes.
The Headstock
The front of the headstock extends 8 cm, providing extra clearance for bowl turning or reverse-mounted work. The M33 x 3.5 mm spindle thread together with the ASR groove ensures safe and versatile turning in both directions.
The Tailstock
- Made from cast iron, with internal components of tough, hardened steel
- Quill travel: 12 cm, through-bored (8 mm)
- Morse taper #3 for maximum rigidity
- Fast and smooth travel thanks to a trapezoidal lead screw combined with a large handwheel
- Unique clamping system: absolutely zero play when locked
- Convenient rear handle to easily pull the tailstock away from the workpiece
Banjo and Toolrest
- The banjo features a patented lever clamp, no wrench required — reposition quickly and effortlessly
- Widely regarded as the best banjo on the market — even purchased separately by owners of other brands
- The 1-inch toolrest post locks exceptionally securely while still being smooth and easy to adjust — even after a full day of heavy turning
Variable Speed Control
- Speed range from 70 to 3050 RPM, forward and reverse
- Full torque available from just 100 RPM, thanks to the powerful 3-phase motor
- Change between the three pulley ranges in seconds
- The frequency inverter delivers up to 150% peak power for short bursts
- Automatic shutdown protects the motor from overload or short circuit
The Bed – Exceptionally Stiff and Precise
