PM-1228VF-LB 12"x28" Precision Lathe

 

PM-1228VF-LB Main Features

• D1-4 CAMLOCK SPINDLE MOUNT, with LARGE 1.5” 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
• NOW WITH DIAL SPEED CHANGES FOR EASIER OPERATION
• Large Morse Taper #3 bore in tail stock, to allow for larger accessories and more gripping power for those tough drilling jobs, yet you can just use a reducing sleeve for smaller MT accessories
• 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.
• Variable Spindle Speeds from 50-2000 RPM in 2 Steps to provide more torque at low speeds, and the ability to perfectly match the speed for the job for increased cutting tool life and better surface finishes
• 2 HP BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR, for better torque, and best reliability during long term use
• Rigid Cast Iron Construction, for deeper cuts, and more vibration dampening
• Induction Hardened and Precision Ground Bed Ways to resist wear and give a long service life
• All gears and shafts in headstock hardened and precision ground for long life and quieter running
• 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
• Precision Tapered Roller Bearings used in spindle, for the ultimate in long life, high precision, and best surface finishes
• Inch AND Metric thread cutting ability is a standard feature, with many quick change threads for less change gears. 15 different threads or feeds can be cut with one gear setup. Many less gears to change compared to others in this class
• TRUE INCH PITCH cross feed, tailstock, and compound slide lead screws are 10 TPI, which make it easier to use for the INCH measurement System, yet still has the Metric readings on dials for the ultimate in versatility for any job that may come about. Main lead screw is 8 TPI for threading
• Splash oil bath lubrication in Thread/Feed Gearbox, 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
• Longest in class, 3 Year Warranty for added peace of mind

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

Machine ships LTL Truck Freight at a flat rate of $249 in the 48 States. Shipments to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, or internationally need to be quoted by our Sales Team.

Shipping weight is approx. 670 pounds, and ships fully crated, approx. 28"W x22"H x 52"L on a 63"x32" skid. Stand adds 16" to height.

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.
