Powermatic - Bench, Engine & Toolroom Lathes Machine Type: Bench Lathe Spindle Speed Control: Variable Speed Pulley

Bench lathes are used for light- to medium-duty work and are mounted onto a workbench or stand. They are capable of machining larger work than hobby lathes with swings of 9" to 13".

Variable speed pulleys are driven by a V-shaped belt system and a variable speed assembly, which has an infinite speed range regulated by the turn of a dial.

Three-phase refers to three individual lines (coils) that connect to and run voltage through the motor. Each line alternates in a sequence as they reach their voltage peak. They provide a more stable flow of voltage and more horsepower to the equipment.
