Performance & Engineering Controls
- Universal Gearbox: Allows operators to seamlessly transition between threading and feed rates without the downtime of manually swapping gears.
- One-Piece Cast Iron Base: Delivers superior dampening of structural harmonics over standard multi-piece beds, translating to flawless surface finishes under heavy feed rates.
- Five-Position Automatic Carriage Stop: Maximizes productivity and exact repeatability during long manufacturing runs.
- Operator Safety Features: Outfitted with an e-stop on the carriage, a large easy-to-use foot brake, and an electronic chuck key holder that disables power unless the key is safely docked.
- Oversized 3-1/8" Spindle Bore: Maximizes machining versatility by allowing massive bar stock and specialized tooling setups to pass completely through the D1-8 headstock.
