10" X 18" METALWORKING LATHE WITH STAND

Built for serious hobbyists, machinists, and maintenance work, the CX708 combines practical capacity with a compact footprint. Its heavy-duty cast iron construction provides the rigidity needed for accurate turning, threading, shaping, and repair work, while the 10" swing over bed and 18" distance between centres accommodate a wide range of small to medium-sized projects.

A 3/4 HP motor and 6-speed gearhead deliver spindle speeds from 115 to 1,626 RPM, giving you the flexibility to work with different materials and machining operations. The 1" spindle bore, MT4 spindle taper, MT2 tailstock taper, reversing spindle switch, and included change gears make the CX708 a versatile addition to a home shop or maintenance workspace.
