SB1038F 16" x 40" Variable-Speed Lathe with DRO
A high-capacity, variable-speed lathe built to close tolerances to ensure exceptional performance.
The most seasoned machinist will appreciate the features and functionality of the SB1038F 16" x 40" Lathe.
The dial-controlled, electronically variable spindle speed between 20–2500 RPM is displayed on a 2-axis Fagor digital readout.
The bed of the lathe is constructed with Meehanite® castings that are hardened and precision-ground in the traditional three V-way prismatic design.
The headstocks feature quick-change gear levers and the carriages include an adjustable clutch that disables automatic carriage feed when it contacts the feed stop or in the event of a crash.
The spindles are D1-6 camlock with an MT#6 taper and 2.0625" bore. The tailstocks have an MT#4 taper and 6" of quill travel.
Quality Allen-Bradley® electrical components and attention to detail provide dependable electrical control of the powered movements.
And finally, this lathe comes with a circulating coolant system.
The SB1038F manual was written by our U.S.-based Technical Documentation Department and is packed with useful information.
All South Bend lathes come with a 2-year warranty which covers parts and assures the unit is free from factory defects.
Parts for the lathe may be available online and shipped from the South Bend parts warehouse in Springfield, MO.
