Feature Benefit Overview
Infinitely adjustable feed rates
You have the ability to easily modify the feed rate with the turn of a dial. Reduce the cut time or increase the microfinish dependent on the jobs needs. Now you have the versatility.
Three arbor speeds
Easily change arbor speeds in seconds, Choose 100, 150 or 200 RPM dependent on the size of work at hand. Speed up for smaller import work, slow down for larger truck work.
Positive rake cutter tip angle
Provides for one pass finish virtually every time, allowing you to complete the work faster than multiple pass machining processes. Metal and heat come off the top of the tip as you machine allowing for, regardless of the amount of material.
Dovetail Way and Adjustable Gibb Design
The most dependable repeat guidance system in the machining industry. System provides for the ability to adjust out any tolerance increase caused by years of wear. Maintain factory tolerances for the life of the lathe. Dovetail ways are covered by stainless steel way covers for maximum performance.
Tapered Roller Bearing Spindle
The lathe spindle is supported by Timken tapered roller bearings for years of maintenance free turning.
Massive lathe housing casting
Combining a total mass of 470 lbs and a solid table top platform design the 8944L eliminates transient vibrations ensuring a smooth uninterrupted surface finish on every pass.
Independent DC feed motors
Utilizing independent feed motors for rotor and drum improves the lathes versatility to machine all varieties of drums and rotors. Through a separated switch wiring we substantially reduce the possibility of catastrophic operator error.
