Micro Lathe PD 230/E  PRO34004   $999.99

The PRO34004 Lathe is designed for those who appreciate quality. But using it does not mean you need to be a professional turner. The included handbook is detailed and easy to understand.

The lathe runs quietly and is small and light enough to be packed away after each usage. The center height and distance between centers are sufficient for a variety of tasks.

Usable on materials such as plastic, steel, brass and aluminum. Complete with automatic feed, thread cutting capability, headstock chuck, live center and top slide for taper turning. Used to part turn and cut tapers. The numerous optional accessories allow one to drill, mill and slot.

Electronic speed control further extends the speed range down to 100 rpm, which is important when cutting threads. The automatic feed offers .002" and .004" (0.05 and 0.1mm) per revolution. The tailstock spindle has a MT1 (short) bore and 1.2" (30 mm) travel. The 110-120V motor is fitted with a forward/reverse switch. The three jaw chuck offers .08" to 1.4" (2-35mm) capacity (internal jaws) and .9" to 2.7" (24-68 mm) (external jaws). The hand wheels are fitted with zero adjustable scales. The thread cutting capability covers the most important pitches of .02",.25",.028, .03", .031", .04", .05", .06" (0.5, 0.625, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 1,0. 1.25 and 1.5 mm). One revolution equals .04" (1 mm) feed (40 divisions) and hence .0017 per division (0.025 mm). Weight approx. 22 lbs. Dimensions approx. 21"L x 9.8"H x 5.9"W.
