The Eastwood 7” X 12” Mini Lathe is equipped with all the features found on large lathes in a compact, home workshop-friendly size. Auto-feed and selectable gear train components allow complex threading operations with a high degree of precision. The included inside and outside 3-Jaw Chuck set will accommodate a wide range of workpiece configurations for most turning and cutting operations. With a 2.125" swing over the cross slide and 12" between centers, you can work materials up to 4" in diameter by 11" in length easily and comfortably.
When you need to precisely shape and finish metal, this Mini Benchtop Lathe from Eastwood will Do the Job Right. It can make cuts in steel as thin as 0.010 inches while conveniently fitting on your shop table. Use the lathe to make custom fasteners, wheel hubs, discs, toolboxes, mallets and other parts. You can also turn wood on a metal lathe to create table legs and stools.
This 7-inch by 12-inch mini lathe arrives ready to work — just plug it into a 120-volt power current and go. It runs on a variable ¾-horsepower motor with adjustable gibs. A three-jaw chuck set and HSS cutter set provide the basics to get started. If you’re new to this process, we sell several books about basic lathework and general metal machining. Visit the Eastwood Garage or call us seven days a week for additional help. All metal fabrication tools have a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
