NOVA NEPTUNE MIDI 15" DIGITAL DIRECT DRIVE LATHE (SKU 55701)

BENCH TOP VERSION - NO LEGS

Experience all the features of a full-size DVR machine on benchtop lathe with Neptune Midi, the new 1.5HP lathe with an intelligent direct-drive digital motor from Striatech that’s redefining what a midi lathe can do. Neptune goes far beyond any other lathe in its class: just a twist of a knob and speed can be adjusted from 100 rpm up to 3500 rpm with no sacrifice in torque. Neptunes outstanding machine features and specifications include a 360-degree pivoting and sliding head, a 15” (381mm) over bed swing, 18” (457mm) diameter capacity outboard (with optional toolrest extension), and 18” (457mm) between centers. Whether you’re turning large projects or small, Neptune’s unparalleled, smart motor technology from Striatech has an easy-to-use, software-driven controller and provides the ultimate in smooth performance, intelligent control, and power under load.

Industry Best Warranty: 10 years coverage on the digital motor and 5 years on the electronic and mechanical*.

Smart Direct Drive: With no belts or pulleys, simply choose your material, pick up your chisel, and get to work. The 1 ¼” 8 TPI lathe spindle is the rotor of Neptune’s smart, direct drive digital motor from Striatech: it has more than enough power (Peak Power 1.5HP) – and high torque power at low rpms – with an instantly adjustable speed range of 100 rpm to 3500 rpm. Neptune can virtually handle any conceivable project requirement.

Intelligent Computer Control: Neptune software applications open up a whole new universe of lathe control functions that do not exist in traditional wood lathes. Using its superior, digital direct drive system, all the power you desire is at your fingertips for smooth, vibration-free efficiency over Neptunes’s vast speed range.

Customize Speed Settings: There are 4 speed customizable speed settings. These are convenient for presetting your favorite turning speeds or for presetting specific project speeds (from rough, shaping, fine detail and finishing).

Speed Ramp – Neptune has two speed ramp settings which are customisable in the menu.
- Normal Mode: a moderate speed ramp up – suitable for most turning situations.
- Extra Large Mode (X-Lge/unbalance): slowly ramp up to the set speed – ideal for large, heavy, or unbalance workpieces.

Electronic Braking: A fundamental part of woodturning is regularly stopping a moving workpiece to examine the cut and shaping progress. Stopping the lathe quickly saves time and is safer and more convenient than the operator using their hand on the hand wheel or workpiece. With the Neptune, you can brake quickly and safely, applying a moderate braking force when the electronic braking is enabled in the menu.

Power Saving: Neptune has the potential to save up to 80% in power consumption when compared to regular AC/DC powered lathes.

Neptune’s powerful computer-controlled digital motor also monitors motor conditions, providing the right power to maintain the speed set when varying loads (e.g. chisel cutting force) are applied to the workpiece. As the cutting force varies, the computer only draws enough power to meet the conditions and maintain speed.

The 360° swivelling headstock locks at any position and includes locating pin detents at 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 90°, and 180°. The tailstock is self-ejecting. The bed has CAD designed webbing to absorb vibration throughout the bed length and provides exceptional structural strength.

Also included are a knock-out bar, 9” (228mm) Tool Rest, Live Center, 2MT Spur Center, 3” (80mm) Face Plate, Power Lead, USB A-A Cable, 3mm, 10mm, 14mm Allen Keys.
