Designed for exceptional accuracy and durability, this lathe is the perfect solution for tool shops, educational institutions, and workshops requiring reliable, heavy-duty machining.

Robust Build for Long-Lasting Precision

Built with hardened and ground bed ways, the PL-35-100 ensures consistent accuracy throughout prolonged machining operations. Its heavy-duty geared head, reinforced with hardened and ground gears, delivers smooth and precise cutting performance, even under the most challenging conditions.

Versatile Spindle Speeds & Hands-Free Control

With eight spindle speeds ranging from 80–2000 RPM, this lathe provides the versatility needed for a variety of machining tasks. The foot pedal spindle control allows for hands-free operation, ensuring quick braking and enhanced safety. Additionally, an easily accessible emergency stop is located at the front of the headstock, along with safety switches on the vice guard to prioritise operator protection.

Advanced 2-Axis SINO Digital Readout System

Equipped with a 2-axis SINO digital readout (DRO) system, the PL-35-100 delivers real-time feedback and precise measurement readings. This feature enhances machining precision by allowing users to accurately monitor positions and depths, ensuring consistent, high-quality results.

Superior Stability & Enhanced Threading Capabilities

• Crafted from high-quality FC30 cast iron, the headstock provides exceptional stability.
• Hardened steel shafts and gears ensure long-term durability.
• 58mm spindle bore with D1-6 cam lock for fast and secure chuck changes.
• Precision tapered roller bearings support the main spindle for maximum stability.
• Fully enclosed, lubricated gearbox supports 48 imperial and 40 metric threads.
• Automatic feeding and threading via the apron lever with an integrated threading dial for precision cuts.
• 4-way tool post allows for quick, secure tool changes, improving workflow efficiency.

Rigid & Precision-Focused Tailstock

The lever-operated locking clamp ensures secure positioning, while the MT4 internal taper provides steady support for live centres or top centres. A hardened and ground quill, marked with imperial and metric scales, allows for precise depth adjustments.
