Serious metalworkers, this WEN 7x16 inch benchtop lathe is ready to handle your most ambitious projects! With 7 inches of swing and 16 inches between centers, you can work on everything from custom screws and knobs to chess pieces and precision parts. The variable speed motor gives you incredible control - anywhere from 100 to 2500 RPM in both forward and reverse directions. The threading capability is impressive too, with an indicator that helps you create screw threads from 12 to 52 TPI in both metric and imperial pitches. The three-jaw chuck holds workpieces securely, while the optional auto feed can be adjusted to match your project needs. The tool post holds up to four cutting tools at once (5/16-inch capacity), so you can switch between tools without stopping your workflow. Additional features include an MT3 spindle taper, MT2 tailstock taper, 0.8-inch spindle bore, and a complete set of change gears. At 92.6 pounds with a 31x11.5-inch footprint, it's substantial enough for serious work but still fits on most workbenches. Backed by a two-year warranty and excellent customer support, this lathe delivers professional results for hobbyists and small workshops. Whether you're working with aluminum, steel, or brass, this machine gives you the precision and power you need to bring your metalworking visions to life. Your workshop isn't complete without this versatile performer!
