  Increased tailstock quill diameter for more rigid operations
• High Precision Japanese NSK Tapered Roller Bearings used in spindle, for the ultimate in long life, high precision, and best surface finishes
• 4-bolt Centering Provision (Known as a Spider) Included at outboard end of spindle, great for through spindle work, such as Gunsmithing or support other long parts that extend through the spindle bore
• 3 jaw chuck has reversible bolt on jaws, for faster changing from O.D. to I.D. Holding (Now is adjustable for runout for the ability to dial in your work to near zero runout)
• D1-5 CAMLOCK SPINDLE MOUNT, with LARGE 2” Spindle Bore, Best in class for universal chuck mounting, and the ability to accept larger diameter work that can pass through the spindle for much easier setup
• Hardened and Ground gears and shafts in headstock for longer life
• Power feed on Carriage, and Cross Slide, both left and right, and in and out, for both turning and facing operations with automatic feed. Allows for the best surface finish in all directions.
• 3 HP Single Phase motor, no need for any special power source, will run from standard 220V Single Phase Outlet
• Rigid Cast Iron Base Construction, for deeper cuts, and more vibration dampening
• Induction Hardened and Precision Ground Bed Ways to resist wear and give a long service life
• High quality electronics used throughout machine
• Slip Clutch on feed rod, to help prevent overloading damage of feeds and allow the use of a solid carriage stop for repetitive work

• Minimal Change Gears needed for Inch threading, only 2 changes required for the full Inch threading range, one set covers 4-14 TPI, and the other set will cover the 16-112 TPI Range. Most gunsmithing work is covered in the 16-112 TPI Range, so normally, gear changes will not be required at all

• Splash oil bath lubrication in Thread/Feed Gearbox, and Apron, for efficient lubrication, and long life, especially compared to traditional open-non lubricated Thread/Feed Gearbox design, yet simple and reliable, and does not require any filter changes or pump maintenance as with oil pump lubrication systems. Also no risk of losing oil flow to expensive parts as there can be with pump lubricated systems

All small accessories ordered with machine ship at no extra charge!

Machine ships LTL Truck Freight at a flat rate of $499 in the 48 States. Shipments to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, or internationally need to be quoted by our Sales Team.

Shipping weight is approx. 1900 pounds, and ships fully crated on a 78"x46" skid.

Flat Rate Shipping

Standard Flat Rate LTL Freight Shipping services involve a 28′-48′ tractor trailer pulling up in front of your driveway and unloading your order at the curb. This is the extent of our flat rate shipping services. Carriers will NOT back their truck up your driveway, drive their truck down a dead end street, or use their liftgate to offload your machine into the bed of your pickup or trailer. Unless you have a loading dock, forklift, material handler, or other heavy equipment with forks, you will need to add Liftgate Service for $79.

Liftgate Service (Optional)

Liftgate Delivery service will get the machine from the back of the carriers truck down to the ground and up to 25' from that offloading point, provided those 25' are paved, level, and manageable by a single person with an unpowered pallet jack. If your shop/garage threshold is more than 25' from the curb end of your driveway and you don't have your own pallet jack, you will need to add Inside Delivery Service.

You MUST have a plan for how to get your machine from the curb to your shop. If you need additional delivery services, like Inside Delivery, box truck, or flatbed with forklift delivery (available in select locations), please contact us prior to your order being shipped to allow us to arrange and charge shipping accordingly. Some, but not all carriers and locations have 26′ box trucks available, but that is not guaranteed and your delivery plan should not depend on getting a box truck.

Inside Delivery Service (Optional)

The Inside Delivery option will, in appropriate situations, cause the driver to take your freight from the offloading point at the liftgate and move it into your shop or garage, as long as the route between those two points is relatively level, paved, and manageable using a standard pallet jack. This is for flat, paved driveways that are over ~30' from the curb to the threshold of your shop/garage.

Delivery Appointment

If you need the freight carrier to call you to schedule a delivery appointment after the machine arrives at their final terminal, but before attempting delivery of your machine, you will need to request a Delivery Appointment. This is most useful if/when you need to rent a forklift or take off work. This will add 1 day to your shipping time. Scheduling a Delivery Appointment more than 2 days from the date the freight arrives at your local terminal may incur daily storages charges that the customer will be responsible for.
