The Record Power CL series lathes enjoy an enviable pedigree and
reputation, stretching back to the 1950s and represent the best of
British design and innovation.
These iconic lathes have now been updated with a number of improvements
to offer even greater performance and value for money.
Both machines benefit from the
following improvements:
New Tailstock Design
The tailstock now features a 2 Morse taper barrel and
ergonomic hand wheel.
Larger Bed Bars
For increased stability and vibration reduction, the bed
bars have an increased diameter of 40 mm.
Heavier Duty Toolrest
The Toolrest is now a cast one piece design, with a
larger 1” diameter stem.
Hollow Spindle
The headstock spindle is now hollow to allow use of a
knockout bar for removing headstock accessories.
M33 Thread Supported by Sealed
for Life Bearings
The headstock now features the larger, heavier duty
M33 thread for increased strength and stability,
now supported by low maintenance sealed for life
bearings for improved ease of use.
More Compact Size and Optional
Bed Bar Extensions
The length of the bed bars has been reduced to
provide a more compact machine, favoured by
the vast majority of woodturners and giving 24”
between centres. For those who wish to turn
larger work between centres optional 12” bed bar
extensions are available.
Shown with optional lathe stand. Prices valid until 28.2.2017.

Collaboration is the way forward
urning, like many
hobbies, faces some
interesting challenges
as far as future development
is concerned. Like many
hobbies and crafts, people
are very happy to see items
being made and people demonstrating or
explaining what they are doing and such like,
but few take up doing it themselves. So getting
people to try turning and hopefully take it up
is something
oft
en looked at as a goal.
We can each play our part in making people
aware of what we do.
Th
at can be by telling
or showing people, but this means being out
and about and engaging with them. We
oft
en
see people at woodworking shows and that
is good.
I oft
en hear clubs say they are at this
or that woodworking show and comment
that they have various success in getting new
people interested or in joining their club.
Woodworking shows and events are
great, but by and large we meet those already
interested or curious – and yes we can
advise and help those people. We should
T
be at the shows, but they should not be
our primary marketing effort as far as
showing people what we can do is concerned.
We need to visit other events too. Yes, craft
and country fairs
off
er a wider mix of things
for attendees to see, but do explore other
events too. Of course we need to be better
at digital marketing, using relevant local,
national and international publications and
other media aspects better too. Yes, that
means doing a bit more than we might already
be and that this has implications for time and
resources which are always in short supply.
Th
e truth is we all need to collaborate
more with other wood and non-wood related
groups and organisations. Shared resources
and cooperation can provide a lot of scope for
learning or moving things forward quicker
rather than just one club or organisations
doing something alone. Sharing helps save
on valuable resources like time, money and
people power. Many clubs and organisations
have already created training programs, have
in place procedural elements for compliance,
safety, risk assessments, insurance, working
with children, organising or attending shows
and such like and many are likely willing to
collaborate and share. Remember though that
it is wholly unfair to just take without giving
back too, so there is a cost in some form or
other but the benefits and the extra potential
are huge.
Th
ere are no losers here, but
remember, sharing is not a one-way street.
Everyone needs to play their part and if it can
save time in some areas, focus on the other
areas that will be of benefit to others.
Collaboration locally, national and
internationally is going to have to be the way
forward to maximise returns for efforts and
to effectively reach a wider audience. Massive
inroads have already been made in this area
by some to wonderful effect, but more can
and needs to be done to the benefit of all.
Have fun,
