Using the same tried & tested, mechanical variable speed system as our popular w 813 lathe, this new lathe offers big capacity turning without the big price tag. The floorstand & lathe bed are made from cast iron. the bed, which is a single piece (not two halves bolted togethor), is then precision ground to give a smooth surface which ensures vibration free running. the headstock is again made from cast iron. it can traverse the entire length of the bed & be locked at any point. the head can also be rotated on the bed & has preset stops at 45, 90, 135 & 180 degrees. this allows bowls of more than 400mm to be turned & often gives the operator more comfortable options for positioning the tool rest. the speed is varied by a single lever & there is a large digital speed display to ensure the correct speed is being used. The tool rest supplied is 300mm (12") long with a 25mm (1") shank. the camlock action means positioning the tool rest is effortless. a fold out extension is provided for bowlturning.
the tailstock, again manufactured from cast iron, has a camlock for easy adjustments & a large handwheel for tightening the centres. Both the head & tail have a hollow centre of 10mm diameter, enabling drilling applications to be carried out & revolving centres to be quickly knocked out.
the package is completed by a powerful, yet quiet, 1.5hp induction motor. Supplied with 4 prong drive centre, revolving tail centre, 150mm (6") diameter face plate, 300mm (12") long tool rest, knock-out bar, cable & plug. specifications: distance between centres:
