MODEL PM-1340GT LATHE
(PM-1236T)
General information
The PM-1340GT is a high quality gap-bed lathe designed for day-in, day-out use in the model shop or tool room.
Distance between centers is 40 in., swing over the bed 13 in. (19-1/8 in. with the gap insert removed). With an all-up
weight of over 1300 lb, choice of precision chucks, plus a range of speeds from 90 to 1800 rpm, the PM-1340GT
is one of the most versatile small machines available. The spindle nose is D1-4 Camlock. A quick-change carriage
feed gearbox provides a full range of leadscrew ratios for U.S. (TPI) screw cutting, without external gear swapping,
together with an independent power feed for both saddle and cross slide. The power feed shaft is driven through a
friction clutch that allows the saddle to be stopped with micrometer precision at any point along the bed. A coolant
system and taper turning attachment are two of the many options available for the PM-1340GT.
The spindle has a 1-9/16 in. clearance bore and MT5 internal taper. It runs in tapered-roller bearings, and is driven
by a 9-speed gearbox, coupled by Vee-belt to a 2 HP (1500 W) 220-240 Vac three-phase motor (single-phase op
-
tional). Two-step Vee pulleys provide a choice of high and low speed ranges, giving a total of 12 spindle speeds — 6
high range plus 6 low range.
