The Wood (Ornamental) Turning Package includes everything you need to get started with ornamental turning in wood and soft materials right out of the crate. This package is designed to get you going with a great foundation of tools and attachments, while not committing to our entire range of tooling from the get go. It includes everything essential to produce high quality finishes including the overhead drive, slow speed drive, MT2 spindle, steel base and table, and much more. Fundamentally, all Lindow Rose Engines are designed and build the same, allowing for quick addition of any attachments and accessories, and easy expansion into different directions for your ornamental turning.

The Engine Turning Package is designed for people that plan to be doing engine turning or guilloché exclusively. It does not include an overhead drive or slow speed drive, as guilloché is most often created by hand cranking and utilizes a fixed tool. It comes with the rosettes, rubbers, and upgraded tower as well as the MT-2 spindle which greatly facilitates work holding.  It arrives out-of-the box ready to cut metal with a traditional engine turning slide rest.  The traditional slide rest is unique in that it's designed to allow radial positioning of the tool, essential for any work that's not flat. This slide is dedicated to engine turning, unlike the Hardinge slide which is usable for other types of turning and the basis for the curvilinear slide. This package also comes with a Stepped Sherline Pie Jaw Chuck and Leveler for accurate fine work holding and indicating.

The Complete Lathe Package is a comprehensive setup to get you started with the many facets of ornamental turning. It is for the person who knows they will eventually want to build up the capabilities of their machine, and maximize savings with a larger bundle of rosette types, attachments and accessories for both wood and metal. The package includes a Hardinge slide which has been set-up for engine turning. The Hardinge slide rest, with lead screw control, is used with a toolpost holding cutting frames, and will allow one to create ornamental turnings (wood) to one's heart content! To produce accurate engine-turning (metal), the Hardinge slide rest can be set up with a .001" resolution ratchet feed for extremely fine step-over. It's easily reversible back to lead screw feed for regular ornamental turning. It allows one to create engine turned pieces intermittently with wood.

Note: When set up for engine turning, the Hardinge Slide Rest is limited to FLAT work only, however it allows the versatility to easily switch modes between wood and metals with ease.
