• The PD 400 lathe is the heart of a multifunctional, expandable system, and is unequalled in its class. Made in Germany, this lathe is ideal for straight and cross-cuts, taper turning, internal and external thread cutting and slotting, and is usable on materials such as steel, non-ferrous metals, aluminium and alloys. Even under heavy loadings, the solid precision of this machine demonstrates negligible tolerances.
• Centre distance 400mm. Swing 85mm. Height over cross slide 58mm. For machining steel, brass, aluminium and plastic. For face and straight turning, taper turning and thread cutting. With an extensive range of system accessories (sold sep') you can also drill, mill and slot.
• Machine bed: Of high quality cross-braced cast iron with wide-legged, prism slides. For vibration-free work even at high loads. With flange and threaded holes at back for fastening the drill and mill head PF 230. Covered lead spindle.
• Headstock: Of die-cast aluminium. Oversized main spindle with two adjustable taper roller bearings and MK 3 bore on chuck side. Spindle bore 20.5mm. Run-out without chuck 1/100mm.
