MACPOWER GX-100 JUNIOR CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This compact CNC turning center delivers precision performance in a highly portable platform, ideal for job shops and small-batch production environments. The machine features a 5.31-inch chuck with a 1.42-inch bar capacity, enabling efficient processing of small to medium-diameter workpieces with a maximum turning diameter of 5.31 inches and machining length of 5.91 inches. Operating on a 2-axis configuration (X and Z), the lathe provides fundamental turning capabilities suitable for cylindrical component production including facing, threading, and profiling operations. The 4.97 hp power rating ensures adequate cutting force for both heavy-duty roughing and precision finishing applications while maintaining thermal efficiency. The machine employs a Siemens 828D BASIC T control system, offering user-friendly CNC programming with proven reliability and compatibility with standard G-code formats. The compact footprint of 84.65 x 61.02 x 61.02 inches combined with a modest weight of 4,409.25 pounds facilitates flexible shop floor placement and relocation when necessary. This configuration targets manufacturers requiring an economical entry-level CNC turning solution without sacrificing rigidity or accuracy. The simplified 2-axis design minimizes operator training requirements while delivering consistent repeatability for production runs. Ideal applications include automotive components, hydraulic fittings, fasteners, and general machine shop work where space constraints and budget considerations are primary factors.
