These Heavy 13 Gearhead Lathes are driven by a fixed speed 3 HP motor with convenient headstock levers to control the 8 spindle speeds between 80-2000 RPM.
The spindles are D1-5 camlock with an MT#5 taper and 1.57" bore. The tailstocks have an MT#3 taper and 1.968" of quill travel.
To ensure long-lasting accuracy in the most demanding of shops, the spindle is equipped with high-quality Japanese bearings.
On the SB1049F, a factory-installed Fagor two-axis digital readout displays the positioning of the carriage and cross slide.
The bed of the lathes are constructed with Meehanite-processed castings that are hardened and precision-ground in the traditional three V-way prismatic design.
Each lathe is equipped with a foot brake to quickly stop the spindle instead of allowing it to coast to a stop on its own. Pushing the foot brake while the spindle is on also cuts power to the motor and stops the spindle.
These machines feature an adjustable stop system that can be used to stop the carriage at a pre-set location when it is being driven by the feed rod.
The micrometer stop allows you to stop the carriage at the same position for repeat cuts, such as when turning up to a shoulder. It includes a graduated dial that allows you to precisely position the stop.
The headstocks feature quick-change gear levers and the carriages include an adjustable clutch that disables automatic carriage feed when it contacts the feed stop or in the event of a crash.
The chip drawer catches swarf and metal chips during the machining process. It contains a screen that prevents large chips from returning to the reservoir with the run-off coolant and causing damage to the pump.
When the coolant pump switch is turned ON, the fluid is delivered through the nozzle attached to the carriage. The flow is controlled by the valve lever at the base of the nozzle.
