Nova Ornamental TurnerWhat sets Ornamental Turning (OT) apart from well done decorative turning? Generally, OT describes controlled, precisely cut decorations that are placed on turned surfaces.

OT is an old and revered art which reached its height in the Victorian era using expensive and especially designed Holtzapffel lathes - now collectors pieces.

Now with the introduction of our innovative Nova Ornamental Turner; the recent growing interest in OT amongst woodturners can be realised in modern woodturning applications. Many of these can be simply and quickly applied. However you can also develop complex patterns and decoration to match your more intricate projects.

The Nova OT can add simple or complex patterns and decorations to turned boxes, platters, bowls or almost any woodturning project. 

You begin by turning your project in any NOVA Chuck or faceplate.  Remove the chuck/faceplate with your work still attached and thread it onto the OT unit.   Screw the cutting frame or side cutter accessory onto the lathe headstock spindle and you're ready to start Ornamental turning!  Combining side cuts and circular end cuts, the patterns that can be achieved is only limited by your imagination!

The unit comes with a comprehensive instruction manual showing you how to set up the unit and all the basic operations, and a 30min instruction video which takes you through set up, basic operations (including end & side cutting, threading, machining etc), advice on timbers and the use of the accessories.
