The
Pfohl company Hapfo was established in 1925.
Involved with the woodworking business from
the start, the company, which eventually became
known as Hapfo began developing wood milling
lathes early on in its growth.
Today
Hapfo customers can pick from a selection of
nearly 40 different lathes and feature combinations
including smaller hobby turning
lathes to industrial
CNC
woodturning lathes for shops, schools
and other commercial use. The company’s
best selling lathe has cast iron construction,
variable speed controls, a 30 - 60mm traveling
steady with self centering jaws. It is capable
of a 10-minute conversion to do twist and flute
work. The top of the line commercial Hapfo woodturning
lathes are programmable for operations such as
turning, twisting, sawing, fluting, engraving,
boring, and sanding.
The company sells their German made woodturning
lathes throughout the world through subsidiaries
in several countries including Canada, the U.S.
and most of Europe. Many shops, such as Mitchellwood
Limited located in the U.K, produce copy lathes
based on designs and specifications of those
made in Germany. They also offer onsite training
for customers.
