This manual machine features a 17-1/4" swing over the bed with an extended 24-3/4" swing capacity in the removable gap section, enabling machining of larger diameter workpieces. The lathe accommodates workpieces up to 60" between centers, making it suitable for medium to large production runs. The spindle bore measures 2-1/32" with a D1-6" camlock nose for secure tool attachment. Operating at speeds ranging from 25 to 2,000 RPM across 18 ranges, the machine provides flexibility for various material and operation requirements.
