A substantially built machine designed with ease of use and quickness of set-up in mind. Ideal for the general woodturner, furniture or joinery manufacturer who require a versatile lathe that can be used for Turning, Spiral Twisting and Fluting for long and short production runs alike. The TA/F Winner uses a hydraulic automatic self centring system comprising of a drive cup and steady rest for accurate high speed loading of components upto 100mm sq. As the device is activated by a foot pedal control, the operator is left with both hands free to load the component. For sections larger than 100mm sq. a set of special detachable vee blocks are used to centre the component with micro-metric adjustment for altering the height setting. At the end of the cutting cycle the turning is hydraulically ejected. These new feature eliminate the time consuming job of marking out or "pointing" the component for accurate centring prior to turning. On request an automatic hopper feed can be specified.

The TA/F Winner has two separate working operations for Automatic Turning, Twisting and Fluting

For Turning and Milling without the need for changeover of head units the machine is fitted as standard with 2 independent, sensitive Duplomatic copy units. The first unit with a Tantung turning gouge and the second unit with a Milling head for barleytwist and fluting work. The two units can be operated together with the Milling unit producing the barleytwist or flute design after the machine has completed the turned component.

When twin gouge Turning is required the barleytwist Milling unit is quickly and easily removed and replaced by a tantung finishing gouge mounted on the second independent Duplomatic copy unit.

With either working operation the machine is equipped with a Elco Power 1000 touch screen colour grahic controller which is contained in an independent free standing control panel. It is used for programming saddle speeds, spindle speeds and in the case of the milling operation automatic programming and control of barley twist threads, pitches, indexing and depth of cut. With this system there is no requirement for indexing plates and gear changes as usually is the case on manual or semi automatic machines.


The tool saddle runs on high resistance, hardened and replaceable slideways. The movement is via a precision re-circulating ball and screw drive for maximum accuracy, thus ensuring high quality and definition of the turned component.
