SHARP 16" - 18" x 40" - 80" LV-Series Variable Speed Precision Lathes

• This model is designed with 3.18” spindle hole which is unique for 16” and 18” swing lathes. Due to its one piece casting machine base, it can support heavier cutting on large diameter materials. The large through hole allows most 3” diameter oil pipes to be machined. The variable speed spindle allows easy change of speeds.
