The NOVA Galaxi DVR 1624-44 combines the best features of larger lathes, including power, capacity and capability with state-of-the-art technology to make turning more efficient, more fun and safer. The NOVA DVR Galaxi is one of the most versatile lathes available; it includes a swivelling head and a cast iron stand as standard.The NOVA DVR lathes are unique.

The build incorporates the motor into the headstock; the spindle and motor form one unit. The motor design makes it highly reliable and practically maintenance free. The DVR (Digital Variable Reluctance) motor uses smart motor technology to provide an incredibly smooth and powerful drive. The controller constantly monitors the spindle and maintains speed, increasing power as it senses extra load from the tool.The 1,305W(1.75hp) DVR motor features chisel dig-in safety sensing and out of balance work adjustment. It has a wide speed range, from a very low 100rpm right up to 5,000rpm. It features easy-to-use dial-in speed control (up to five favourite speeds), making it the perfect solution for turning small pens or large bowls.

The NOVA Galaxi DVR offers 405mm(16") swing capacity (expandable to 735mm(29") capacity with the optional outrigger accessory) and 1,115mm(44") between centres. The headstock can slide along the bed to provide a maximum bowl turning capacity from the end of the bed. It includes a forward and reverse feature. Full swivel head functionality and solid cast iron components.Supplied with cast iron stand, 150mm(6") faceplate, 300mm(12") toolrest, 2MT live centre, 2MT spur centre, knock-out bar and manual.

• 5 Favorite Speeds, PLUS NEW Dial in Speed Control - Enables you to pre-programme your most used speeds for faster and more efficient project set ups. The NOVA Galaxi is the first NOVA DVR lathe to feature dial in speed control for faster, more precise speed setting.
• Solid CAD designed Cast Iron Stand included as standard equipment - Exclusive larger design especially for the NOVA Galaxi, with CAD designed ribbing for structural strength, and a provision for a tool shelf. The NOVA Galaxi 1624-44 Lathe Stand is designed to allow the owner to make custom shelves to add to the stand, if desired. Shelves are not supplied with the stand.

• 360° Swivel head - Position work where you want it, makes your turning more comfortable and saves you workshop space

• Stationary lathe capabilities in a compact workspace - All the power you need in a compact working space, great for those who need all the workshop space they can get! The full swivel head and articulated Outrigger Accessory (SKU 55223) means that even with large bowls (29”) you are still turning in the same compact working envelope.
• High Torque - Delivers high torque from its start speed making it well suited for low speed turning. There is no belt drive – full power output is available at the spindle.
• Intelligent Drive - The computer analyzes (100s of time per second) both the spindle position and the power required to maintain a given speed. As cutting tool pressure is increased the drive adds more power. Unlike a ‘dumb’ AC or DC where there is no connection between the power supplied and the actual spindle requirements.
• Up to 50% Energy Efficiency - The DVR motor only draws as much power as necessary – this means it is very efficient in its power use and runs very cool, adding years to your motor
• Low Maintenance - The DVR is a simple motor – the complexity is in the electronics. It has few mechanical parts with no belts, pulleys – the motor and lathe headstock are a fully integrated whole. There are no brushes or magnets and only one set of very robust industrial grade stator windings.
• Flexibility in Turning - The headstock not only rotates a full 360deg, but you can slide the headstock along the bed, giving you maximum flexibility and capacity in your turning.
