If you're looking for a robust gear head metal lathe, there's a good chance the Warco GH1300 series offers everything you could ever need for a wide range of metalworking applications. Each machine features induction and hardened ground bedways, and hardened, precision ground headstock gears to ensure an extremely quiet operation.

Other features include a D1-4 spindle supported by taper roller bearings, an overload clutch to saddle feed shaft and a removable gap bed which is dowelled for accurate relocation. There's a safe low voltage circuit with overload cut out, a slide out coolant/chip tray and telescopic leadscrew covers.

The spindle brake is extremely effective and will immediately brake the lathe from its highest speed of 2000RPM. In an emergency situation, the brake will also disconnect the electrical drive. Each machine comes with an individual accuracy test report, an emergency cut out switch, and an offset tailstock facility.

The lathe features quality European electrical components (by Siemens or Telemachinique). Finally, there's a jogging button to assist chuck rotation throughout the speed range, an independent feed shaft to saddle for longitudinal and cross feed, adjustable gibs to top slide and cross slide and interlock chuck guard with gear train cover.

Standard equipment supplied with each of these lathes includes: 160mm 3 Jaw chuck with inside/outside jaws, 200mm 4 Jaw independent chuck, 4 way toolpost, fixed and travelling steadies, micro adjustable bed stop, coolant system, cabinet stand, halogen low voltage light, dead centres and face plate.
