8" x 14" Metal Lathe: Our metal lathe machine adopts external poly-V-belt drive technology. The output torque is increased by 3 times, up to 1:9, so you can turn 45# steel bar easily. With 20 mm / 0.79 in hole through spindle diameter, you can process all kinds of rotating surfaces and end faces of rotating bodies. 4-Speed Adjustment: The benchtop metal lathe adopts a 4-speed continuously variable function so that you can adjust spindle speed flexibly from 50 to 2500 rpm according to your demand. Intelligent electric control speed regulation and digital display equipment are more convenient for you to adjust and operate accurately. High Accuracy & Professionalism: The tailstock spindle features an MT2 taper with top-press thread quick-lock technology for user-friendly use without effort. The precision dial is provided in the tailstock handle so that you can work more accurately and professionally. Forward & Reverse Thread Turning: All gears of the power metal lathe are made of high-quality metal material, ensuring a longer service life. It can turn 18 types of imperial threads (12-52 T.P.I) in both forward and reverse. Security Comes First: The benchtop metal lathe has chuck cover disconnection protection, automatic overload protection, and an added circuit board protector to avoid high-speed reverse short circuits, which protects the security of the operator and the machine motor.
