Anatomy of Our CNC Precision Teach Lathes
Our teach lathes are built with strong, stable, and wider bed way for maximum vibration absorption. The entire bed features outstanding structural rigidity. Dovetailed carriage and cross slide are hardened, high precision ground, coated with Turcite-B and scrape finished to ensure uniform surfaces.
The tailstock is constructed with increased throat depth in tailstock with MT #4 interior taper quill. When utilizing the manual 4-way tool post, electric H4 turret or hydraulic P8 turret, it allows for free cutting of long workpieces. For manual drilling, the quill can be set to zero for drill depth measurement. This teach lathe series can be optionally equipped with a foot-actuated hydraulic tailstock quill.
