About This Product
This new TU-3008G model geared head lathe of very modern design has many convenient facilities ideal for the enthusiastic model engineer for small component manufacturer. A very rigid 180mm cast iron bed width, induction hardened and ground slideways gives a high level of precision turning. The lathe capacity is 700mm between the centres and 300mm swing over the bed and with a generous 38mm spindle bore allowing larger stock to be placed through the headstock. The workhorse that drives this lathe has an upgraded powerful 2hp (1.5kW) motor providing smooth running. Other very useful features included are cross and longitudinal power feeds that’s not normally found of small conventional lathes, quick lock tailstock and both metric and imperial thread cutting, ranging from 8-56 tpi or 0.2-3.5mm pitch. Also included are a 4-way indexing tool post with 12mm tool shank capacity, fine adjustment on the tailstock for taper turning and the rear splash guard. A 160mm 3-jaw chuck with reverse jaws is also supplied. There are many additional options available including a milling head (BF-16AV) or (BF-20AV) to turn this machine into a very capable all round machining centre. This is a Hare & Forbes special-order item, available to order through Alltools Geelong (order code L691) for collection in store.
