Product Details
The precision engine lathe features a robust base constructed from 100% cast iron, ensuring exacting tolerances under demanding work conditions. It comes equipped with a factory-installed Mitutoyo® 2-axis digital readout system, providing ease in achieving high-quality, precise results. Powered by a potent 7-1/2 HP motor with a range of 12 speeds from 80 to 2,000 RPM, it allows for efficient heavy cuts, promoting better surface finishes and extending tooling life. This lathe accommodates both metric and standard threads, while the Turcite-B® coating on the ways ensures durability under rigorous turning conditions. The gap lathe design permits larger diameter workpieces by removing a slide section, and the precision-ground and hardened slideways offer smooth, consistent movement with the lathe's rigid cast iron construction maintaining accuracy over years of use. The package includes an 8" 3-jaw universal chuck with a back plate, a steady rest, a follow rest, and a micrometer saddle stop. Additional features consist of a headstock chuck guard with an automatic safety switch, a halogen work light, an emergency foot brake, and an integrated coolant system with a rear splash guard. The lathe complies with relevant certifications and specifications for quality and safety, ensuring reliability in various workshop environments.
