Overview
Turning wood at a standing height you set, the Powermatic PM2014 is a floor lathe with a cast iron bed on an adjustable open stand. A sliding headstock moves to the bed end for outboard work, and a magnetic control box can be placed anywhere along the lathe.
An inverter drive lets a standard household circuit run the motor, and the stand adjusts so tall and short turners work at a comfortable height. Longer work needs the optional bed extension, and the listing skips spindle thread details.
Who it's for
Serious hobby turners with a dedicated garage or shop corner suit this lathe, especially when people of different heights share it. Turners short on floor space, or who move their lathe often, should choose a lighter benchtop model.
Pros and cons
- Runs on standard household power
- Sliding headstock for outboard turning
- Magnetic control box mounts anywhere on the lathe
- Digital speed and index readout
- Spindle thread and taper not listed
- Bed extension sold separately
- Very heavy to move or install
- Single toolrest in the box
Performance notes
Vibration control comes from the cast iron bed and the mass of the machine, which matters most when turning large or rough blanks. The inverter converts household single phase power to three phase drive, giving smooth speed control shown on the digital readout. Positive locking indexing holds the spindle at set stops for layout work.

An optional 13 inch bed extension increases the between centers capacity. The sliding headstock also moves to the end of the bed for outboard turning, which gives more clearance for wide work.
Does the Powermatic PM2014 need a 230V or three phase circuit?
No. It runs on 115V single phase power; the inverter converts that to 230V three phase drive for the 1 HP motor.
