The 9 x 20-inch Bench Engine Lathe from Palmgren delivers the precision, power and versatility to handle a wide range of turning operations normally found in much larger machines. Due to its heavy cast iron construction, smooth power transmission and precision thrust and ball bearings in the head stock and spindle, the bench lathe provides years of trouble-free, precise turning. The Bench Lathe is the right choice for turning small metal parts. It is ideally suited for prototype shops, tools rooms, fabrication shops, maintenance shops, home machinists and jewelry manufacturing. An optional heavy duty steel floor stand with drawers is also available.
