Offering larger capacities and motor power than is normally found in small bench top lathes, the heavy-duty cast iron bed of this lathe has a finely ground top surface and ensures stability and minimal vibration during operation. The thick walled cast iron headstock and tailstock provide rigidity, add strength and years of trouble-free turning pleasure. The tailstock is hollow (9mm bore) allowing long-hole boring to take place using a standard long-hole boring auger, and features auto ejection of centres. Quick release levers allow for easy and accurate positioning of tool rest and tailstock. The lathe is powered by a 700 watt induction motor suitable for continuous operation. The spindle speeds range from 400 to 3300rpm, within the choice of 6 belt ratios. The spindle nose has the very common 1" x 8TPI thread and a 2MT internal taper, so a large range of accessories are available.Solid rubber feet help to eliminate movement whilst in operation. The tailstock barrel has 50mm of movement and includes a 2MT live centre. The spindle is indexed every 15 degrees via a locking pin mechanism at the rear of the headstock. Supplied with: work light, 150mm tool rest, 250mm tool rest, drive centre, live centre, T04M/T38 spindle adaptor and 75mm face plate. This is a great lathe for those looking for that extra quality and capacity but retaining portability.
