FILENAMES: TOS1.jpg TOS2.jpg DESCRIPTION: This is a picture of a TOS metric lathe. Posted by John Stevenson . John provided the following description: ================================================================= This text accompanies two pictures sent to the dropbox at www.metalworking.com They are TOS1.jpg and TOS2.jpg This text is TOS.txt These are two photo's of the new TOS lathe I recently bought and decided to send them in to add to one of the current threads New Import v used American. This is classed as a 360 x 1000 in American terms that's 14 x 40. It is an all metric machine including screwcutting, the first I have ever used where you don't have to leave the half nuts in - I love it . Rough specs are 40 mm thru spindle bore, Headstock 5MT, tailstock 4 MT, Chuck is 8". Two speed 5 Hp motor with speeds from 32 to 2000. Hydraulic clutches so you can instantly reverse. Reverse is 1.4 times the forward speed so if you have to wind back when screwcutting it saves time. All the usual threads in the gearbox plus a load of change wheels for specials like 11 1/2 pipe.
