Palmgren has released a new 9" × 20" bench lathe designed to deliver precision, power and versatility. It handles a wide range of turning operations typically found in larger machines. The lathe is constructed from heavy cast iron and reportedly features a smooth power transmission, precision thrust and ball bearings in the head stock and spindle as well as hardened and ground ways.
According to Palmgren, these features are designed to provide years of trouble-free turning. The machine’s ability to turn small metal parts makes the bench lathe suitable for prototype shops, tool rooms, fabrication shops, maintenance shops, jewelry manufacturing as well as home and hobby machinists. Palmgren, a C.H. Hanson brand, has been in business for 100 years.
