Step up to smoother, quieter precision turning with this 7 x 16 in metal lathe built around an 800W brushless direct drive motor. With no belt to slip or replace and no motor brushes to wear out, it spends more time making parts and less time on maintenance. The spindle turns in both forward and reverse across a continuously variable 150 to 2500 Rpm range, and intelligent electronic speed control with a digital display makes it easy to read and repeat your settings from one job to the next. The lathe is constructed from HT200 cast iron for a solid, stable platform, paired with strong, wear-resistant metal gears and aluminum alloy handwheels that feel smooth under your hands. A 3.93 in 3-jaw chuck, MT4 spindle taper, MT2 tailstock taper and a 1.26 in spindle through-hole give you the flexibility to work a wide range of stock, while the thread-cutting system produces 19 different threads, including 9 metric pitches from 0.5-3 mm and 10 imperial pitches from 10-44 Tpi. Safety is designed in from the start with an emergency stop switch, overload protection, a chuck cover power-off switch and a main control panel safety switch. Running on standard 110V power and measuring about 31.5 x 13.4 x 14.2 in, it suits home machinists, model builders and small workshops that process precision parts, and it arrives with a tool box to keep accessories organized.
