VL300 LATHE The VL300 Short Adjustable Stand Mount EVS (Electronic Variable Speed) lathe has been designed to suit most wood turners. The electronic variable speed drive gives up to 200% torque on low rpm and it comes with a powerful 3hp motor. The three-step pulleys provide 3 ratios 1:1 for small to medium size work; 1:1.5 for medium to large work; and 1:3 for large work. The diagram in the above photos shows the maximum spindle RPM at each pulley step. The cast iron lathe is mounted on a 5mm thick steel plate stand, which has been designed with a 700mm wide footprint for stability and rigidity. The stand also features wood shaving discharge chute and a knee stop bar. All VL300 lathe models accept an extension bed at either end of the bed. A 500mm or 1000mm bolt on extension bed is available and multiple extensions can be added on. Precision machined face on both ends of the bed for bolt on extension bed or swing away tailstock support. Digital speed readout located below the headstock that displays the actual spindle RPM. Hinged headstock door for ease of use and an ergonomic Toolrest. Another great new feature on this lathe is the indexing pin safety switch. This prevents accidental start up while the indexing pin is engaged. #branchestobowls #branchestobowls #Vicmarc #vicmarc #vicmarcvl300 #vicmarclathe #woodturnersworldwide #woodturners_worldwide #woodturners #woodturner #woodturningworld

About us
My name is Ken Rude, owner of Branches to Bowls Ltd living in Calgary, AB. I have been working with wood on and off since I made 7 birdhouses when about 9-10 years old. 2009, I started woodturning with an old lathe I found on Kijiji, to see if I enjoyed working on a lathe like I thought I remembered from High School shop class. After a couple years of chasing the vibrating lathe around the shop, it was time to upgrade. After looking at the available options I decided on looking for a used Vicmarc lathe, finally after about 6 months I found the only used one, a VL300, in the world 10 minutes from home. It was in my shop within 24 hours. I spent many, many satisfied hours working on my Vicmarc VL300. In 2016 Branches to Bowls began to carry Vicmarc lathes and accessories for Canada. Now we are happy to represent them across North America. I believe quality tools make it easier to do excellent work with greater satisfaction. That’s why when Carter and Son Toolworks Ltd approached me to represent them in Canada, we were excited to add them to our product line. Our customers were asking about carbide tips. When seeking a solution for them we met Hunter Tool Systems not only do they provide a quality carbide tip that are designed as cutters we share similar values for our businesses. PlanetPlus / Rotur recognized our commitment to quality products and approached us to carry their line. They have a broad selection of quality turning tools to make your experience with wood fun, with tools that will last. We are proud to join their family. GluBoost and wood like each other and adding a quality adhesive product option for our customers was a no brainer.

PIPE JAWS The Pipe Jaw set comes as a set of 2 and are designed to clamp square sections of wood. Items such as smoking pipes and other offset parts can be made using these jaws. The four points on each jaw allow for a firm grip on the part. The rectangular clamping arms can be removed and a smaller section can be held close up as shown. The smaller section has serrations which help hold the part. Also shown are how different axis can be turned by repositioning the timber. #branchestobowls #branchestobowls #Vicmarc #vicmarc #woodturners_worldwide #woodturners #woodturnersworldwide #woodturner #woodturningworld

FACEPLATE RINGS These can be used instead of the traditional faceplate. They allow remounting of prepared blanks by mounting directly onto the chuck jaws. Faceplate Rings can also be used for turning green wood which will require re-turning later. #branchestobowls #vicmarc #woodturningworld #woodturningtools #woodturnersworldwide #jaws #woodturners_worldwide #Vicmarc #woodturners
