This superb gearhead lathe hits the "bull's eye" with its high-precision spindle bearings, D1-5 camlock spindle, outboard spindle spider supports, quick-change gearbox, induction-hardened bed ways, and its extra-fine longitudinal feed rate of 0.0011" per rev. and cross feed rate of 0.0004" per rev. Other features include a heavy-duty, vibration-dampening steel stand, bearing-tipped follow rest and steady rest, and a tailstock that can be tightened with a torque wrench to achieve precise chuck-to-tailstock alignment each time the tailstock is locked down. Even if you are not a gunsmith, you’ll appreciate the high level of precision and generous features this lathe offers.
