Palmgren 9684525 12" X 36" VARIABLE SPEED ENGINE LATHE

Palmgren's High Performance Electronic Variable Speed Engine Lathes are the perfect tools for all applications. Each machine provides the power and accuracy required to deal with all applications from heavy metal removal to fine tolerance turning operations. With their compact footprint, these machines are the ideal turning solution for small shops, large shops and prototyping labs. Each machine comes equipped with an electronically controlled variable speed inverter for the ultimate in spindle RPM control. The headstock is designed with hardened and ground gears within a splash lubricant system to provide maximum power and precision in every turn. The bed of the lathe is made of hardened and ground high tensile cast iron for complete rigidity. The control panel is easy to use and comes equipped with a spindle RPM readout for increased operator convenience. To provide the ultimate in machining safety, each machine is equipped with a tool post guard, a chuck guard, a full rear splash guard and has CSA certified electronics.
