Meet the king of lathes. Its 16-inch steel bed design is 20 times more torsionally stable than the traditional cast-iron bed, and with 42 inches between centers, it offers all the work room you could want. The head spindle lock is a great design--rugged yet easy to use--and has a 24-division indexer for ornamental work. The cast-iron tool rest is a full 12 inches long, and its base travels smoothly on the ground bed for the widest range of tool placement. Powering the whole thing is a big-name Baldor motor packing a whopping 2 horsepower and Poly-V belt for maximum torque and minimum vibration. Delta's thought of everything with this model--the steel-tube construction offers additional stability because the feet will accommodate four-by-four lumber for a bigger footprint and safer turning on large workpieces. There are even brackets below the bed so you can add a shelf if you'd like.
