HiTorque 7x12 Mini Lathe with Premium Tooling Package

480.4800.jpg


HiTorque Mini Lathe and Tooling Package. This includes the PN 4100 HiTorque Mini Lathe and the PN 4116 Mini Lathe Premium Tooling Package.

The LittleMachineShop.com HiTorque Mini Lathe is the best in its class. It has the most power, most torque, and a longer center distance than other lathes in its class.

The 500 Watt brushless spindle drive motor provides tremendous low-end torque. And you can vary the speed from 50 RPM to 2500 RPM continuously in both directions. There are no gears to shift.

The cross feed and compound rest dials are graduated in 0.001" and 0.025 mm. The lathe is equipped with a 4-way indexing tool post set for 5/16" (8 mm) tools.

Real top and bottom half-nuts and a reversible 16 TPI lead screw provide extended threading capability. You can create every American Standard Unified class 2A inch screw thread from 4 to 80 threads per inch, and you can create every American Standard Metric class 6h thread from 0.3 to 8 mm pitch with the extra 21 tooth change gear that is included.

The lathe includes a chip tray, a backsplash guard, and spreaders to give the feet a broader stance.

The LittleMachineShop.com model 4100 HiTorque Mini Lathe is a version of the SIEG SC2.

The Premium Tooling Package includes a high-quality all-steel wedge-style quick change tool post set with five tool holders, a 1/2" professional-grade drill chuck on a 2 Morse taper shank, American-made indexable turning tools, an indexable boring bar, a premium cut-off blade, and center drills.
 





Not bad, but it's only 100 more for a 9" x 19" lathe. The 9" x 19" lathes are much more rigid, then you get a horizontal auto feed as well.

I do like the brushless motor on that one though.
 
These are okay. I used a Harbor Freight one for a long time, which we added many upgrades to. Nothing beats a bigger machine that has a gearhead though. The problem with these little electronic speed control ones is that you only get the "rated" power out of the motor when you are running full speed. With a gear head, or even pulley lathe, you get the full power all the time. This is very important especially when you need low RPM's. So if anyone is looking to get into a lathe, get something a bit bigger, you won't regret it.
