Key Features & Benefits
- 1.2 kW high-torque DC motor — holds rated torque from 150 rpm up, ideal for parting deep grooves and heavy roughing cuts.
- Enclosed feed and threading gearbox — oil-bath gear train cuts metric (0.2-4 mm) and imperial (8-56 tpi) threads without rebuilding the change-gear stack.
- Digital RPM display — set spindle speed to the surface-feet calculation rather than guessing belt position.
- 125mm three-jaw chuck with reverse jaws — standard kit, ready for outside-jaw work on stock up to 250mm OD.
- ST-2506V floor stand included — sheet-metal pedestal with chip tray, splash back and lockable storage — saves the cost of a separate cabinet.
- Hardened and ground V-bedways — keep tailstock and saddle aligned over the full 550mm bed length.
- Forward / reverse spindle plus power cross-feed — hands-free facing and stepless feed-rate control.
When to Use This Combo
The L689+L690 combo is the right choice for hobby and trade workshops needing a bench lathe with real production capability — 250mm swing handles brake rotors, rolled-steel flanges and motor pulleys; 550mm between centres covers most automotive shafts. Choose the L687 TU-2004V instead if your work is jewellery-scale or model-engineering small.
Pro Tip: When parting on the L689, drop the spindle to 200-400 rpm and set the cross-feed to a steady 0.05 mm/rev — the 1.2 kW motor will not stall, and slow rigid feed clears chips far more reliably than fast feed at higher rpm.
