Stratos FU-230 LV lathe with extended bed and an impressive center distance of 955 mm!

We redeveloped the Stratos together with experienced woodturners and engineers. Our goal was to create a mid-priced lathe that combines new ideas with tried-and-tested features. The result is a lathe ideally suited for beginners, advanced woodturners, professionals, and artists. Now with two integrated sockets!

Further technical data:

  • Frequency converter now with 2 sockets for 800 watts each
  • Smooth start and stop
  • Very quiet and smooth running
  • Digital speed display
  • Tailstock: MK2 with scale on the quill, quill stroke 100 mm
  • 24-step dividing device with measuring scale through a sight glass
  • Rotatable and movable headstock
    • nine-fold spindle lock
    • High accuracy between the driver and the tailstock.
    • Alignment stop for setting precisely aligned centers
  • Movable control box with
    • Magnetic holder
    • On-off switch
    • Forward-reverse running
    • electronic speed control via potentiometer

When developing the Stratos, we focused on the following points:

  • Particularly smooth running when turning bowls, vases, long wood and off-centre turning
  • Precisely aligned tips for accuracy in miniature and long wood turning and for good drilling results
  • Wide speed range on both pulleys: Pulley No. 1 achieves 80–1350 rpm, while pulley No. 2 achieves 180–3700 rpm. This allows miniatures, boxes, chased and fly-turned work, bowls, vases, and much more to be produced on pulley No. 2 without the need to change the belt.
  • Made entirely of grey cast iron to reduce vibration
  • Sufficient motor power for bowl turning
  • Great ease of use: The headstock can be rotated and moved, the bench can be quickly converted for external turning, and external turning is possible at three points.
  • The control box can be attached exactly where it is needed, thanks to a magnetic holder
  • Center height: 230 mm for work up to 450 mm in diameter. Turning diameter with external turning device: more than 800 mm

5-year warranty

    Fu230

    What a fantastic piece of machinery, engineered to the highest quality. Plenty of power for turning extra large bowls, but versatile enough for turning delicate little finials.
    Highly recommended

  2. Chris

    Lathe and service both brilliant

    Lathe is strong and stable, great features that allow for a great range of turning. As with all Hope products I have brought the Stratos is of excellent build and quality. Service from Simon is second to none delivered in two days from order over 600miles away – incredible impressive all round. I look at all the lathes in the price / feature bracket and this is by far the best in my opinion.

    Stratos FU-230 LV

    A superb lathe that is suitable for all levels from beginners to professionals. It is extremely quiet and smooth. It is tough enough to turn large pieces of wood whilst also handling very fine delicate pieces. The engineering quality is second to none, as is the customer service you get from Hope Woodturning.
