By the two capacity figures. Distance between centres is the longest spindle it will hold; swing is the largest diameter that will clear the bed. Take the longest and widest pieces you intend to turn and read both against them.

Distance between centres runs 250 to 1100mm across the range and is stated on every line. The Sealey SM1308 sits at 1000mm and 370W, the SM1100 at 1100mm and 550W with ten speeds.

A stepped machine changes speed by moving the belt and holds each speed steadily. A variable speed machine changes without stopping, which matters when a piece goes out of balance and the speed has to come down mid-cut.

It rotates the headstock away from the bed so a bowl wider than the machine's swing can be turned off the end of the lathe. That is how a compact machine handles large diameter work it could not otherwise clear.

With a copy follower, which traces a template so every piece comes off the same. The Clarke CWL1000CF carries one at 1000mm alongside variable speed.

The SIP 14in x 40in starter lathe is supplied with a chisel kit, which removes the second purchase. For smaller work the Sealey SM2503 is a mini lathe and drilling machine in one body.

Two measurements place a wood lathe and they answer different questions. Distance between centres is the longest spindle the machine will hold, so a stair baluster and a pen need very different machines. Swing is the largest diameter that will turn without striking the bed, which is what limits bowl work. Centres is stated on all eight lines here, from 250 to 1100mm.

Speed control is the third decision. A stepped machine gives fixed speeds through a belt change and holds them steadily, and the Sealey SM1100 runs ten of them at 1100mm centres and 550W. A variable speed machine changes without stopping, which matters where a piece goes out of balance and the speed has to come down mid-cut rather than at the next belt change. Ten fixed speeds cover more ground than the number suggests, because the working range on a lathe is narrower than the span the belt allows.

Swivel head machines rotate the headstock away from the bed so a bowl larger than the swing can be turned outboard, off the end of the machine. That is how a small lathe does large diameter work, and it is why the SIP swivel head bodies at 12in x 36in and 14in x 43in carry the leaf traffic. Motor power is given on seven of the eight lines and voltage on seven.

Copy following is the other capability worth knowing about. A follower traces a template so a set of matching legs comes off identical rather than nearly identical, and the Clarke CWL1000CF carries it at 1000mm with variable speed. A starter machine supplied with a chisel kit removes the second purchase. Questions go over WhatsApp on 07754288583 with the work being turned. The SIP variable speed midi sits between the two approaches, small enough for a bench and adjustable without a belt change.
