Turning Lathe TWISTER FU-180

The compact lathe with swiveling and sliding headstock! Including heavy cast legs.

Equipped with a powerful 1.5 hp motor, this machine offers the possibility of turning workpieces of various sizes. Thanks to the swiveling and sliding headstock, as well as the receiving bore for a bed extension on the bench bed front, the machine offers considerable added value compared to conventional lathes of this size.

In the stand version incl. Substructure (feet) we consciously made use of the heavy, massive cast legs of the more expensive machines from the DRECHSELMEISTER machine series. This guarantees optimal stability and vibration-inhibited work even with larger workpieces.
The optional bed extension / outboard can be mounted on the front of the cast legs, allowing larger diameter workpieces to be easily machined.
