  • D1-4 CAMLOCK SPINDLE MOUNT, with LARGE 1.5” Spindle Bore, Best in class for
    universal chuck mounting, and the ability to accept larger diameter work that can pass through the
    spindle for much easier setup
    • NOW WITH DIAL SPEED CHANGES FOR EASIER OPERATION
    • Large Morse Taper #3 bore in tail stock, to allow for larger accessories and more gripping power
    for those tough drilling jobs, yet you can just use a reducing sleeve for smaller MT accessories
    • Power feed on Carriage, and Cross Slide, both left and right, and in and out, for both turning and
    facing operations with automatic feed. Allows for the best surface finish in all directions.
    • Variable Spindle Speeds from 50-2000 RPM in 2 Steps to provide more torque at low speeds, and
    the ability to perfectly match the speed for the job for increased cutting tool life and better surface
    finishes
    • 2 HP BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR, for better torque, and best reliability during long term use
    • Rigid Cast Iron Construction, for deeper cuts, and more vibration dampening
    • Induction Hardened and Precision Ground Bed Ways to resist wear and give a long service life
    • All gears and shafts in headstock hardened and precision ground for long life and quieter running
    • High quality electronics used throughout machine

    carriage stop for repetitive work
    • Precision Tapered Roller Bearings used in spindle, for the ultimate in long life, high precision, and best surface finishes

    less change gears. 15 different threads or feeds can be cut with one gear setup. Many less gears
    to change compared to others in this class
    • TRUE INCH PITCH cross feed, tailstock, and compound slide lead screws are 10 TPI, which make it easier to use for the INCH measurement System, yet still has the Metric readings on dials for the ultimate in versatility for any job that may come about. Main lead screw is 8 TPI for threading
    • Splash oil bath lubrication in Thread/Feed Gearbox, for efficient lubrication, and long
    life, especially compared to traditional open-non lubricated Thread/Feed Gearbox design, yet
    simple and reliable, and does not require any filter changes or pump maintenance as with oil pump lubrication systems. Also no risk of losing oil flow to expensive parts as there can be with pump lubricated systems
    • Longest in class, 3 Year Warranty for added peace of mind
