Dean Smith & Grace 1709 x 60″ Gap Bed

Dean Smith & Grace 1709 × 60″ Gap Bed Centre Lathe
Overview
This Dean Smith & Grace 1709 × 60″ Gap Bed Centre Lathe (Serial No. 40811-7-77) delivers rugged British engineering and precision. A versatile and durable machine, it’s well-suited to workshops and production environments needing both capacity and fine control.
Why This Lathe Stands Out
Gap Bed Versatility: With a generous 660 mm swing in the gap and 60″ between centres, it handles large or awkwardly shaped components with ease.
Balanced Power & Precision: A 10 HP motor paired with spindle speeds up to 1,400 rpm lets you efficiently rough and finely finish workpieces.
Superior Control: Precise feed rates as fine as 0.025 mm/rev ensure excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
Comprehensive Threading Options: Flexible screw-cutting capabilities offer both imperial (TPI) and metric ranges to suit varied applications.
Built for Safety & Productivity: The 2-axis DRO improves workflow accuracy, while full guarding provides essential operator protection.
Heritage Build Quality: Dean Smith & Grace machines are renowned for robust construction and lasting craftsmanship.
