The Small Engine Lathe with the Big Machine Performance

The Professional Series 13" VS sets new standards of performance for small engine lathes. The cutting power and rugged construction matches that found on much larger capacity machines.

An electronically variable speed spindle drive gives a better cutting performance than many similar sized CNC lathes let alone engine lathes and this combination of speed and power available at the spindle nose allows the full use of the capability of modern cutting tool materials giving substantial machine productivity benefits.

Precision power and durability, together with a host of innovative features are built in to give years of lasting performance from this rugged little machine.

Key Features:

     
  • Very heavy duty construction - over 40% heavier than previous model - built to last.
  • Wide bed with excellent rigidity.
  • Anti-friction linings on the carriage ways - minimal bedwear - longer machine life. Field tested for over 10 years without failure.
  • Electronic, infinitely variable speed spindle drive - gives optimum cutting speed - faster cycle times -allows the full use of modern cutting tool technology.
  • Wide spread of power - over 30 to 1 Constant Power Range. High power at low speeds and high power at high speeds.
  • Built to Metric Standards throughout.
  • Low noise levels - less than 80 dBA at 40" envelope around machine.
Numerous Safety Features Including:
     
  • Interlocked End Guard Door.
