The Story
The Robust Scout Wood Lathe offers the same quality, workmanship and reliability that Robust is known for in a package costing thousands less than their larger models. With a capacity of 14" over the bed and 26" between centers, the Scout is more than capable of handling most any project large or small. And with a full range of optional accessories including a 16" bed extension, 1.5 h.p. motor upgrade, casters, vacuum adapter and more, you can truly customize your Scout to fit your needs. Designed for mounting directly to a bench top or on the fully adjustable Robust Universal Lathe Stand, the Scout is Robust’s "big-little" lathe that gives you the features and performance you want with a price tag you’ll love. Made in the USA.
