Don't be fooled by its rugged exterior, this lathe may look all brawn and no brain, but this muscle bound wonder while not only capable of cutting deep can also produce a smooth surface finish that leaves others far behind. Indeed its finishing accuracy has lead this machine to become a favorite of alloy wheel manufacturers. Further to this the 2 speed gearbox offers high torque at low speeds to enable cutting of hard and wide ranging materials. With a maximum spindle power of 37kW available, no job is too hard. So whether its aluminium wheel machining or hard stainless steels this machine sees no difference.
