12 ½” Variable Speed Midi Lathe
46-460

Features

Powerful 1 HP max, 1,725 RPM Motor
Large 12-1/2" swing capacity provides the largest capacity in its class
Electronic Variable Speed with three-pulley speed ranges provide the required speeds needed to turn a project
without changing belt position
Forward and Reversing function allows the turner to achieve a superior finish. Sanding a turned piece with the
grain causes the wood fibers to lay down and remain rough. Sanding a turned piece against the grain will cut the
wood fibers smooth. Rotating the turned piece in both directions is the way to achieve this super smooth finish.
With our competitors the turner would need to remount the work piece backward to achieve this dual rotation.
This is time consuming and often impossible. With the Delta 46-460 it is a simple flip of the switch.
Patented belt tensioning system for easy and quick speed changes and sets the belt at the correct tension every
time for maximum power transfer and longer tool life
6 groove belt provides superior power to turn large objects
Indexing pin to lock the head stock spindle in 24 different locations for fluting and other decorative applications
All cast-iron construction provides stability and is extremely durable
Over Headstock On/Off switch provides easy in use access
Ball-bearing live center
Includes 3" face plate, 6" tool rest and 10" tool rest. Turning long spindles require either a longer tool rest or the
user to continually move the short tool rest. Turning short work requires a short spindle; the long spindle will not
allow the turner to get close enough to the piece.
Extension Bed (Model 46-463) is a 25-1/2" long cast-iron bed that increases the overall bed length of the 46-460
to 42"
On board storage for easy access to adjustment tools
6" and 10" tool rests provides tool support in a variety of turning applications
Heavy-duty, steel knockout bar
