The headstock has its own oil pump keeping the Gamet bearings happy, and the main speed change gearbox is seperate, it has its own oil pump too. Are they well built? I took my carriage to bits for a look - what a beauty! Fine engineering throughout. The tailstock ways stop well short of the spindle, so you have a natural gap-bed effect - a lathe which swings 6' over the crosslide can also swing 17' in the permanent 'gap'.

This means the main ways can be well covered from above. This is because the tailstock has its own ways, they are a lot higher than the carriage ways. And another two magnetic clutches for forward and reverse.Īnd the clever design you ask? Well, the vee ways are covered, so no chips can get to them. By switching off one clutch and switching on another you get instant on-the-fly speed change. This is because the gearbox has four magnetic clutches, each attached to a constant-mesh gear. In the space of a second you can change speed four times, and change direction too if you want. Speed change is instant, just a little twist, and it immeadiately jumps to the speed you've clicked to. Why are they fun to use?īecause spindle speed, direction and on/off are all controlled by one 'joy stick' on the right hand of the saddle.
