This is the machine you don't have to "baby". The Micro Lathe is a rugged, precision instrument. Its machined, ground and stabilized steel bed has a lifetime ball bearing spindle, coupled w/ a 6-speed positive v-belt drive.

Other big lathe features include large .001 graduations on the cross slide dial, an all-angle tool post and a carriage depth stop. Adjustable gibs provide full compensation for carriage and cross slide wear. 2-yr. factory warranty. 15" bed. Comes factory assembled.
