Introducing the MicroLux 7 x 16 Mini Lathe

• Now 16 inch capacity


• More powerful 500 watt brushless motor


• Quieter belt drive

The MicroLux 7 x 16 Mini Lathe is not just a stretched version of older 7 x 10 and 7 x 12 mini lathes, but has new design elements required for bigger jobs:

A more massive bedway to withstand extra forces generated by turning long pieces

A more powerful motor

Carefully positioned controls for easy access and safety

A specially configured and strengthened tailstock to accommodate long workpieces

Careful workmanship gives you high dimensional accuracy and long life, and smooth operation lets you put fine finishes on turnings up to 7 inches in diameter and 16 inches long. Yet, it's compact enough (just 86 pounds) to be portable. This mini lathe has true imperial (inch) feed screws and dials (.050 inch per turn), so metric conversions are not required. The MicroLux 7 x 16 Mini Lathe is so versatile it will cut all metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, copper, bronze, and nickel-silver, plus non-metals such as wood and plastic. And, with the optional accessories sold separately, it will perform virtually any task you'll ever need.
