Key Features At A Glance
Fast Changeover
Change from servicing rotors to drums in seconds!
Digi-Cal* Auto Measurement Caliper Option
Instantly measures drum or rotor dimensions to determine if the workpiece should be discarded prior to machining.
Simple Operating Controls
Controls are conveniently located on the front of the lathe; there’s no need for the operator to move to the rear.
Disc/Drum Control Lockout and Warning Indicator Light
Eliminates potential “crashing” of the machine in drum or disc modes, even with first-time operators.
Infinitely Adjustable Feed Rate
“Dial-In” fast rate for rapid material removal, very slow for final surface finish or any rate in between for a “one-cut pass.”

User-adjustable speed settings provide the correct speed for all size workpieces. No tools required.
Durable, Heavy-Duty Construction
The lathe’s mass of over 500 lbs. helps ensure better stability and accuracy when machining a workpiece.

Lamps use brighter, more durable bulbs to illuminate both sides of the workpiece.
