It is equipped with an all-geared Norton gearbox to allow easy selection between metric and imperial threads and feeds. Electrical components typically run on 415 volts, 3-phase power. Standard accessories often include centers, tool posts, and thread dial indicators, with optional attachments such as face plates, steady rests, chucks, and taper turning attachments available to customize the lathe for specific machining tasks. This lathe is suitable for workshops requiring reliable, versatile turning capabilities within a medium size and power range, meeting industry standards for all-geared precision lathe machines.
