Model G0745 (Mfg. Since 11/13)

INTRODuCTION

a lathe removes material from a rotating workpiece 
secured to the spindle with a chuck or faceplate. a 
cutting tool is mounted in the tool post or tailstock 
and  moved  against  the  spinning  workpiece  to 
perform the cut.

this micro lathe is great for jewelers, model mak-
ers,  or  hobbyists  who  want  to  turn  small  parts, 
but don't have the need (or space) for a full-sized 
lathe. it features a 4" swing, 6" distance between 
centers,  variable-speed  spindle,  and  a  3-jaw 
chuck.
