Headstock

• A fully clutched and pressure lubricated headstock provides an extraordinary 24 spindle speed selection in a 1.24 ratio power multiplier. Full 24 spindle speed choice yields an optimum performance speed matchup for material depth of cut; feedrate and surface finish needs.
  
  Seperate forward and reverse main spindle clutches give fast but smooth engagement of power to the main spindle. Main drive motor fatigue and premature failure is reduced by eliminating frequent "start/stop/reverse" as found in lesser quality lathes. This reduces electrical consumption also and improves economy of operation.
• Wide faced analog type load meter shows the operator an instant picture of cutting load conditions for maximizing performance and efficiency.
• Warning indicator lamps instantly depict fault conditions of Carriage Longitudinal Over Travel, Cross Slide Overtravel, Chuck Guard Out of Position. Any one lamp ignition will stop the spindle immediately until the fault condition is cleared. Big Mushroom E-Stop button shuts everything down fast.
• Selector levers for right and left hand threading including standard and wide pitch options are conveniently located right at the headstock.
• Large easy to read lubrication sight gauge provides the operator with headstock oil flow conditions.
