Introducing the powerful Acra 14"/21" x 40" Precision Gap Bed Engine Lathe - a robust Taiwanese-made lathe engineered for superior rigidity, versatility and accuracy. This premium 8-speed lathe delivers best-in-class performance across a wide range of heavy metal turning applications with its vibration-resistant Meehanite casting, precision-ground ways, and dynamic spindle design.
The Acra gap bed lathe features a rugged one-piece Meehanite cast iron base with induction-hardened ways to minimize vibration and maintain long-term precision. The universal gearbox accommodates a comprehensive range of inch, metric, modular and diametral threads without changing gears. The headstock's vibration-absorbent housing ensures rigid, deflection-free performance while its hardened, precision-ground gears run smooth and quiet. The heavy-duty, dynamically balanced spindle utilizes class-leading roller bearings for outstanding load capacity and durability.
