The lathe machine uses a powerful 1 HP DC motor with electronic variable speed controls that offer a wide range of operating speeds, digital RPM readout, ample diameter, and spindle length turning capacities in forward and reverse drives. The corded control box has a magnetic back that allows it to be moved along the front of the cast iron lathe bed, and positioned where you want it. The left outboard end of the lathe bed is milled to take a special 13 1/2 inch bed extension (70-903 sold separately) to allow outboard turning of diameters up to 15 inch. The Rikon 70-150VSR includes a spur center, live center, 3 inch faceplate, 6 inch tool rest with 1 inch diameter post, knock-out bar, wrenches, and tool holder. Review: Highly precision made tool. - I purchased this lathe for pen and ring turning, it arrived very quickly and was in good condition. I don't usually write reviews but it's not very often that you get what you pay for now days, this lathe is high quality and the workmanship is fantastic. The lathe is highly precision made, the tolerances are very very tight, there is no sloppiness in any part whatsoever, the center to center on the spindle and the head stock is perfect. Review: Solid machine - Nice machine, solid, easy to use. We did experience a piece of plastic breaking behind the shut off switch but the company quickly sent out a replacement. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | RIKON Power Tools | | Part Number | RIK-70-150VSR | | Item Weight | 102.8 pounds | | Product Dimensions | 39 x 13 x 15 inches | | Item model number | RIK-70-150VSR | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | ## Images ![RIKON Power Tools VSR MIDI Lathe (RIK-70-150VSR) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51btvEHlgML.jpg) ![RIKON Power Tools VSR MIDI Lathe (RIK-70-150VSR) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51V2TpxRi0L.jpg) ![RIKON Power Tools VSR MIDI Lathe (RIK-70-150VSR) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZmEEE-xJL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is a compatible 24" bed extension for the #70-150VSR?** A: you can use the 70-901 but I believe you might want the 903 as you can attach it for use to do outboard turning. **Q: What is the difference between the 70-150 vsr and the 70-250 vsr? do they have a variable frequency drive?** A: Length of the bed 16" between centers , the swing is about half of an inch less with the 150. same motor. but the motor controls you can move around to what suits you. the 220 has been discontinued as I understand but they are available just not here I believe. anyhow the 220 has 20" between centers, it cannot do any outboard turning as you can with the 150. the 150 is pretty much the same except shorter. 5lbs lighter I believe the VSR means variable Speed rheostat. therefore they are both a Variable Speed Drive, NOT! a VFD I believe the Nova DVR Lathes have the VFD. **Q: What are the dimensions of the shipping box?** A: the box that my 220 came in was over 4' in length and 2' in depth it's well packaged. **Q: Does anyone know how to find replacement belt for Rikon 70-150 vsr belt and part list??** A: Go to Rikon's website. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly precision made tool. *by R***S on April 18, 2026* I purchased this lathe for pen and ring turning, it arrived very quickly and was in good condition. I don't usually write reviews but it's not very often that you get what you pay for now days, this lathe is high quality and the workmanship is fantastic. The lathe is highly precision made, the tolerances are very very tight, there is no sloppiness in any part whatsoever, the center to center on the spindle and the head stock is perfect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid machine *by D***R on April 6, 2025* Nice machine, solid, easy to use. We did experience a piece of plastic breaking behind the shut off switch but the company quickly sent out a replacement. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE Best Midi Lathe Available. *by C***0 on August 12, 2025* This lathe replaced another smaller Rikon lathe. I received it quickly. There wasn't much assembly to be done. I had it up and running within 30 minutes. I love everything about this lathe. The size is perfect for me. ( I did buy a bed extender but haven't used it yet.) The variable speed works great, though I would have liked it to be capable of a bit slower than the current minimum. Being able to move the switch to anywhere on the lathe is genius. I've had a couple other Rikon tools and have always been impressed by them. I did note that this lathe is exceptionally quiet. The spinning wood makes more noise than the motor. Overall I'd taste this the most pleasing tool that I have in my shop. And I have a lot of tools! ## Frequently Bought Together - RIKON Power Tools VSR MIDI Lathe (RIK-70-150VSR) - RIKON Power Tools 70-920 Universal Mini Lathe Stand - PSI Woodworking LCHSS8 Wood Lathe 8pc HSS Chisel Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/299647355-rikon-power-tools-vsr-midi-lathe-rik-70-150vsr](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/299647355-rikon-power-tools-vsr-midi-lathe-rik-70-150vsr) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
