PM-1440-2SM, and PM-1440-2SM-V Main Additional Features:

• High Precision Japanese NSK Tapered Roller Bearings used in spindle, for the ultimate in long life, high precision, and best surface finishes
• 4-bolt Centering Provision (Known as a Spider) Included at outboard end of spindle, great for through spindle work, such as Gunsmithing or support other long parts that extend through the spindle bore
• 3 jaw chuck has reversible bolt on jaws, for faster changing from O.D. to I.D. Holding (Now is adjustable for runout for the ability to dial in your work to near zero runout)
• D1-5 CAMLOCK SPINDLE MOUNT, with LARGE 2” 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
• Hardened and Ground gears and shafts in headstock for longer life
• 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.
• 3 HP Single Phase motor, no need for any special power source, will run from standard 220V Single Phase Outlet
• Rigid Cast Iron Base Construction, for deeper cuts, and more vibration dampening
• Induction Hardened and Precision Ground Bed Ways to resist wear and give a long service life
• High quality electronics used throughout machine
• Slip Clutch on feed rod, to help prevent overloading damage of feeds and allow the use of a solid carriage stop for repetitive work

• Minimal Change Gears needed for Inch threading, only 2 changes required for the full Inch threading range, one set covers 4-14 TPI, and the other set will cover the 16-112 TPI Range. Most gunsmithing work is covered in the 16-112 TPI Range, so normally, gear changes will not be required at all
• TRUE INCH PITCH main lead screw is 8 TPI, cross feed, tailstock, and compound slide lead screws are 10 TPI, which make it easier to use for the INCH measurement System
• Splash oil bath lubrication in Thread/Feed Gearbox, and Apron, 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
