Sherwood Minimax Wood Lathe 305mm Swing

Sherwood Minimax 305mm Wood Lathe

The Sherwood Minimax sits comfortably in the sweet spot—not too big and not too small. It’s compact enough to move around the workshop or store in the garage, while still offering the power and capacity required for a wide range of woodturning projects.

It’s an excellent choice for developing woodturners or experienced makers wanting to add reliable turning capability to their workshop.

Compact Size, Serious Capability

Bridging the gap between Sherwood’s Mini and Midi lathes, the Minimax combines convenient size with dependable performance.

Its powerful 750W DC motor and electronic variable speed control provide spindle speeds from 300 to 3500 RPM. With a 305mm swing and 610mm working length, it’s suitable for creating bowls, pens, spindles and many other turning projects.

Solid Cast-Iron Construction

The sturdy cast-iron bed helps absorb vibration and provides a stable, reliable platform while turning. Despite its solid 39kg construction, the Minimax remains compact enough to reposition or store when workshop space is limited.

Electronic Variable Speed

Electronic variable speed gives you precise control without needing to manually change belts. Easily adjust the speed to suit different timber, project sizes and turning operations.

Forward and reverse operation also makes hollowing and sanding easier while helping you achieve a cleaner, more consistent finish.

Quick-Repositioning Levers

Convenient locking handles make it quick and simple to adjust the tool rest and tailstock. The repositionable levers can also be moved out of the way after tightening, keeping your working area comfortable and uncluttered.
