Bed Extension Kit 16", Mini Lathes

Bed Extension Kit 16", Mini Lathes - Main image
$172.47 $249.95 In stock

This lathe bed extension kit turns your 7x10, 7x12, or 7x14 lathe into a 7x16 lathe. The 7x16 bed is actually 8" longer than the 7x10 bed. It is 4" longer than the 7x12 bed.

This lathe conversion kit includes a bed casting, a lead screw, a rack, a motor mount, a chip pan, 2 chip pan braces, several fasteners, and complete instructions. 

This is NOT a bolt-together kit. You must drill and tap 9 holes in the new bed casting to match your lathe. You need three metric taps: M3x0.5, M6x1, and M8x1.25 (We sell as Tap & Tap Drill Kit - 1617). If you don't have metric drills, you can use letter and number drills for tap drills. (The sizes are given in the instructions.)

Sofia R. ★★★★★

I was worried about fitment, but the extension slid right onto my 7x12 lathe without any fuss. The extra 4 inches of bed length makes a noticeable difference for turning longer spindles.

Emma ★★★★★

The mounting hardware lined up perfectly with my 7x12 lathe's existing holes, making installation a quick 15-minute job. I've already turned a 15-inch table leg that wouldn't have fit before.

Alexander ★★★★★

I was able to fit longer spindles without having to reposition the tailstock constantly. The mounting holes lined up perfectly with my existing lathe base.
