The 4224 24-Inch
Woodworking Lathe
At a Glance:
  • Performs a wide range of wood-turning applications
  • Built-in spindle indexing for cutting evenly spaced cuts
  • Forward/reverse rotation for multiple turning methods
  • Variable-speed motor with easy adjustments
  • Cast-iron construction for vibration-free, travel-free operation
  • Precision ground bedways for smooth sliding of tailstock and toolrest


The inverter works with a 3-step poly-v belt drive to provide electronic variable speed.

A magnetic-based remote on/off switch can be moved anywhere on the machine.

Versatile to Suit a Range of Projects
Offering an impressive 42-inch working distance between the centers and a 24-inch swing over the bed, there’s no limit to the wood turning projects you can tackle. Make detailed table legs, custom balusters, hand-crafted bowls, platters, urns, and, of course, pens. Forward/reverse rotation enables even further versatility and a range of turning methods, while built-in spindle indexing ensures evenly spaced cuts.

Get the Speed You Need
The Powermatic 4224 owes its robust performance to a belt-driven, three-horsepower motor. Surprisingly quiet, this motor offers speed ranges of 0 – 910, 0 – 2,000, and 0 – 3,500 RPM, giving you the speed you need for wax-finishing a platter or roughing out a large chunk of oak. Changing speed ranges is effortless: just lift the motor and slip the v-belt onto the desired step. A convenient digital readout on the spindle will eliminate guesswork by displaying the exact RPM.

Vibration-Free, Travel-Free Operation
Ideal for hobbyists and professional woodworkers alike, the Powermatic 4224 is a stable machine that operates without vibration or travel. Made from heavy cast iron and resting on cast-iron legs atop two-inch-wide adjustable feet, this lathe will stay put and will level anywhere.

And to prevent travel, the lathe features a stationary cast-iron headstock, as well as a cast-iron tailstock with an anti-slip positive cam-action locking device. What’s more, the 4224 impresses with its precision-ground bedways that allow for smooth sliding of the tailstock and tool rest.

Dimensions and Warranty Information
The Powermatic 4224 measures 26.75 x 60.0 x 75.0 inches (WxHxD), weighs 848 pounds, and is backed by a five-year warranty.
