Performance & Engineering Controls
- Enclosed Geared Headstock: Provides immediate, positive power transfer across 12 distinct speed settings, ensuring optimal surface footage without the slip associated with belt drives.
- Expansive Removable Gap: Extends the swing capacity to a massive 18-3/4 inches, allowing for the machining of extreme-diameter faceplate work while preserving the rigidity of the bed.
- Extra-Wide Lathe Bed: The robust 13-3/8 inch bed width delivers superior structural harmonics, dampening vibration to ensure flawless surface finishes under heavy tool pressure.
- 1-3/8" Spindle Bore: Maximizes versatility by allowing standard bar stock and piping to pass directly through the headstock for highly efficient machining.
- Precision Feed Rates: Features longitudinal feed rates ranging from 0.0018 to 0.0374 IPR for consistent, highly repeatable passes.
