Its electronic speed control offers a variable speed range from 70 to 2,800 RPM, eliminating the need for belt changes and providing additional torque at lower RPMs through a secondary pulley position.

Constructed in the USA, this lathe is designed to deliver high-quality precision work, capable of cutting materials such as wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel. Despite its desktop size, it offers the precision and accuracy of a full-size machine. The Package A includes a 2.5-inch 3-jaw self-centering chuck and a 1/4-inch tailstock drill chuck with key, along with Morse arbors and a drawbolt, enhancing its versatility for various machining tasks.
