The Craftex CX-Series CX707 12" x 36" Gear Head Metal Lathe combines a 2 HP motor, hardened and ground V-way bed, quick-change gearbox, and gap-bed design for accurate general machining and thread cutting. Read Less
Built for demanding metalworking applications, the CX707 offers a 12" swing over the bed, 36" between centres, and a 17" swing through the removable gap section. Its geared headstock provides 18 spindle speeds from 65 to 1,810 RPM, allowing the operator to select a suitable speed for a range of turning, facing, boring, and threading operations.
Precision-ground gears, an induction-hardened V-way bed, and independent lead screw and feed rod support smooth movement and consistent machining accuracy. The quick-change gearbox simplifies metric and imperial thread selection, while the carriage-mounted spindle control lever keeps key operating controls within easy reach.
The lathe is supplied with a heavy-gauge welded steel cabinet stand featuring two lockable storage cabinets with shelves. A full-length splash guard and chip tray help contain swarf and coolant around the work area.
