Table lathe and drill/mill

<< < (5/5)

uuu:
As I understand it, the Proxxon PD400 lathe comes with a 100mm diameter chuck.  So when they describe the "swing" as being 85mm, perhaps they mean the centre height - otherwise the chuck would hit the bed!   So the maximum diameter workpiece, to clear the bed, would be 170mm.   And then 58mm centre height over the saddle = 116mm maximum diameter at this point.

I've never seen one of these lathes - just extrapolating from the chuck size.  So a check from an owner would be valuable.

Yes, the Proxxon PD400 has a centre height of 85mm and can turn a 400mm long rod between centres.
