Order Status - PLEASE NOTE, the delivery time for this product once ordered is 4-8 weeks! This WILL NOT ship immediately, as the units have to complete final assembly, testing and packing before shipping. Please choose Ground shipping as it will be the most economical.
Small Shop Friendly - At 30 pounds it makes it easy to store when not in use.
Pumping system for 3d Turning and decoration is standard on the unit.
360 Degree Phasing assembly allows you to phase the cuts of your rosettes in 1 degree increments.

Standard 1" x 8 tpi Spindle enables you to use most standard lathe chucks on the market today.
Dual Rubber Rails makes turning from either side of the Rose Engine quick and easy, and it also makes great handles for moving and positioning the machine.
The Single Rosette Mount allows you to mount up additional rosettes without having to remove the barrel assembly. You can simply slide the special rosette on the back of the Rose Engine and go to work turning.
Cutting Frame - If you order the cutting frame with the Rose Engine at the same time, you save yourself $195 on the entire kit as the Universal Cutting Frame is normally $525.
Built in Speed Control is integrated into the motor box of the Rose Engine. It supports forward and backward rotation as well as variable speeds. Jogging is accomplished by lightly adjusting the speed dial for the spindle motor.
