BASIC FUNCTIONS
This General International model 25-300QC M1 Wood Lathe is designed specifically for medium to larger sized
wood turning projects. With a maximum swing over bed of 14", a distance between centers of 30", and 2 electron-
ically controlled variable speed ranges (170-1200 and 500-3600 RPM) with digital spindle speed display, the 25-
300QC is ideal for turnings such as chair or table legs and columns, as well as bowls of various sizes. A simple belt
re-positioning on the drive pulleys, allows the operator to select the desired speed range and the electronic speed
controller allows for further fine-tuning within each speed range.
With its pivoting head, larger bowls can also be turned on the outboard side of the lathe, with the help of an option-
al outboard turning bracket #25-305. For longer turnings an optional 18" bed extension, #25-618 can be added.
The 25-300QC M1 comes equipped with a selection of the most commonly used accessories, including a 3" face
plate for bowl turning and both live and spur center for typical spindle turning, to allow the user to begin turning
(turning tools not supplied) after a few minutes of assembly and set-up, right out of the box.
The 25-300QC M1 is designed to be compatible with all aftermarket turning accessories using MT#2 Morse taper in
both the headstock and tailstock and the headstock spindle threads are compatible with all 1" dia x 8 TPI female
threaded chucks and face plates.
