Innovation · Precision · Freedom
The most sophisticated control system ever fitted to a NOVA lathe. Striatech DVR direct drive. 4.3" TFT touchscreen. 360° sliding swivel headstock. One machine. Every angle. Limitless possibilities.
Engineered
to Inspire
Every element of the NEUTRON’s design starts with one principle: the machine handles the complexity so you can focus on the wood. Striatech’s DVR direct drive delivers 2HP of constant, intelligent power from 50 to 5,000 RPM.
The spindle is the rotor. No belt, no pulley, no stage between the motor and your work. Zero transmission power loss, whisper-quiet operation, and constant torque at any speed — not just the middle of a belt range. 50 RPM as confidently as 5,000.
Built Different. Built Better.
No belts. No pulleys. No power lost in transmission. Constant torque from the first chip to the final pass, at every RPM from 50 to 5,000.
A first for NOVA. Full-color graphical interface with icon menus, live RPM and load readout, multi-language support, and QR codes to the manual. Works with gloves on.
Stops the workpiece in seconds — faster and more controlled than any manual method. Catch detection intervenes before a dig-in becomes a problem.
Speed control and real-time RPM display from anywhere in the shop. Built-in USB connectivity for firmware updates and data.
Rough, shape, detail, finish — program your turning stages into the machine and recall any of them with a single press. Adjust in 5 or 50 RPM steps.
Automatic FWD/REV cycles every 30 minutes for hands-free finish drying. Electronic Indexing. Unbalanced Mode. Features no other lathe offers.
Every Function.
One Screen.
The NEUTRON’s 4.3" TFT touchscreen replaces a bank of buttons and a numeric readout with a full graphical interface — icon menus, live load monitoring, Speed Chart guidance, and Favorite Speeds, all glove-friendly.
F1–F4 shortcut keys surface the functions you use most. Coarse or fine speed adjustment in 5 or 50 RPM steps. Reprogrammed in seconds for the next project.

- 8+ programmable Favourite Speeds
