Most noticeable is the LED mirror display which clearly and elegantly organizes the key controls for the lathe. All controls are Illuminated, and it includes a start/stop button, a spindle direction button and emergency power (E-stop) switch. A variable speed control knob allows accurate control of spindle speeds, while an integrated spindle speed display clearly displays the speed.
The 7450 lathe also comes equipped with a 2-axis tablet display DRO connected via Bluetooth to magnetic scales on the longitudinal and cross feeds. It also has 2 digital readouts on the compound rest and tailstock. The DRO system measures in increments .0002" and comes factory installed on the lathe.
A 500-Watt brushless spindle drive motor and belt drive provides tremendous power and low-end torque. There are NO gears to shift, so no gears to break. The drive allows for spindle speeds from 100 to 2500 RPM continuously in both directions. NSK brand Japanese-quality spindle bearings ensure smooth and quiet operation.
Standard on the lathe is an all steel, wedge-type quick change tool post which accepts turning tools up to 1/2" shank. Five toolholders are also included for the most common tools and tasks. The lathe also comes with a 4" Sanou lathe chuck, a Morse taper #2 dead center for the tailstock, and an 11-gear change gear set that includes a 21-tooth gear for accurate metric threading. For more details, see the Contents tab.
Real top and bottom half-nuts with a 16 TPI lead screw and a factory-installed threading dial provide extended threading capability. You can create every American Standard Unified class 2A inch screw thread from 4 to 80 threads per inch, and you can create every American Standard Metric class 6h thread from 0.3 to 8 mm pitch with the extra 21 tooth change gear that is included.
The 7x16 lathe includes attractive aluminum hand wheels and chrome levers. A backsplash guard and deluxe chip tray with rubber feet give a broader and more secure stance.
The LittleMachineShop.com model 7450 HiTorque Mini Lathe is a version of the SIEG SC2.

Chris' Tips- Our HiTorque machines do not have the plastic gears that break. When you read about mini lathes and mini mills breaking plastic gears, the vast majority of cases involve the two-speed gears inside the head. HiTorque machines, with the brushless DC drive, have a belt directly from the motor to the spindle. No gears at all in the spindle drive.
- Our larger HiTorque bench lathes have no plastic gear at all. Every gear is metal.
- Plastic gears are quieter than metal gears. Metal change gears raise the sound level to an objectional level.
- Plastic gears are appropriate to this application. They work fine and when you crash your lathe, they provide an inexpensive, easy to replace “mechanical fuse”.
- Plastic gears are more economical. We choose not to charge extra for a basically worthless feature.

Additional Notes
- Contact and delivery. Ensure you choose the correct type of delivery, have a dedicated contact person/number, and are ready on day of delivery. Freight companies charge an additional fee if delivery exceeds 30 minutes.
- Only one shipping charge for entire pallet (up to 700 pounds total). The shipping charges shown above cover the cost of shipping the machine and anything else that you purchase with it, including a second machine, stand, tooling, and accessories.
- A "commercial address" has a sign with company name, a public entrance and posted hours of operation. If you are running a business at your residence without a public entrance and posted company name and hours of operation it is considered a residence and a not commercial address.
- A "limited access" designation is required for "Secured Locations" (schools, colleges, universities, university hospitals, military bases, government facilities, etc). Please provide accurate details on delivery in special instructions.
- "Terminal Pickup" allows for pickup at local terminal. If there is not a terminal within 50 miles (or 1 hour), we will confirm with you that you still want Terminal Pickup. Terminals tend to be near highways (usually miltiple intersecting) and industrial centers. Only certain terminals allow pick-up.
- "Residential delivery" does not include moving machine into home/garage/workshop or any setup. Delivery is to start of driveway on the street that the delivery truck can access. (See inside delivery below.)
For delivery to Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico
We will check with several trucking companies to get the best price and then call for your approval before we ship.
Canadian Shipments
Truck Freight shipping to Canada involves 3 distinct charges in addition to the product costs. (All amounts are in US Dollars, see the current mid-market exchange rate.)
- Canadian Provincial Taxes (GST, PST, HST) depending on which province the shipment is going to. This will be 5% - 15% added to total sales amount depending on province (Canadian Sales Tax).
- Hemisphere Customs Brokerage which handles all customs clearance requirements. This is a flat fee of $108 on any shipment.
- Truck Freight from Southern California to destination in Canada. This is generally $300-$500 for residential liftgate delivery and appointment for single machine + tooling orders. Delivery to a terminal for pick-up or a commercial location with loading capabilities can reduce this cost substantially.
