SAVE UP TO 80% POWER WITH DVR LATHE

The DVR’s micro-computer automatically detects the load on the output shaft, and adjusts power extraction according to the load. As a result, the DVR motor has its highest torque at lowest speed and has a flatter torque curve over a wide range of speeds which is perfect for woodturning.

This unique characteristic also means the DVR motor can be mounted directly to the output shaft, which allows it to achieve better output by eliminating the power lost in a traditional gears/belts and pulley drive system. (Typically, a belt driven machine has about 20% power loss just in the belt system alone!)

When the shaft is under a light load, the micro-computer will reduce the power extraction to save energy. Combine this with the energy saving from eliminating the belt and pulley system, and the DVR motor can save up to 80% energy over a conventional AC motor.

 

NOVA CHUCK
One of the Best Innovations of the
Past 25 Years

The NOVA Chuck has been awarded as one of "The Best Innovations of the Past 25 Years" by the prestigious WOOD Magazine.

In 1988, Teknatool designed and introduced a self-centering four-jaw chuck with circular jaws which revolutionised  woodturning. The chuck makes holding wood on a lathe so much easier and enables a wide range of projects to be completed. This style has since become the chuck standard in woodturning. With continuous improvement in our chuck design, NOVA branded chucks are the most popular woodturning chucks available in the USA.
