This portable miniature lathe combines cast iron and steel construction with a 150W high torque motor, delivering professional capabilities in a space-saving footprint. With a 150mm swing over bed and 250mm distance between centres, it handles a wide range of small-scale metalworking tasks whilst remaining light enough to move when needed.
