Chris' Tips
View a comparison of the specifications for our lathes.

With this lathe, you can create every American Standard Unified class 2A inch screw thread from 4 to 100 threads per inch, and you can create every American Standard Metric class 6h thread from 0.25 to 8 mm pitch with the extra 21 tooth change gear that is included.

But you can actually make more thread pitches than that. And, there are more change gear combinations than those shown in the users guide. To see what you can really do, see the Change Gear Calculator.

See what the difference is between the SIEG drive system and the HiTorque drive system.

Here are the user's guides for our machines.
