This example was built in 2005 and is offered in used condition from a seller in the United Kingdom. It presents a solid set of specifications that make it suitable for a variety of general and precision turning tasks.
The machine offers an X-axis travel of 220 mm and a Z-axis travel of 710 mm, with a distance between centres of 700 mm — defining the maximum length of workpiece that can be accommodated. The swing above centres is 170 mm, giving the effective turning diameter capacity over the bed. The spindle is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 3,000 rpm and is driven by a motor rated at 5.3 kW, providing ample power for a machine of this class. The spindle nose conforms to DIN 55029, a standardised taper and chuck-mounting specification that ensures compatibility with a wide range of tooling and accessories.
The tailstock is equipped with a quill of 50 mm diameter, with a travel of 120 mm and an internal taper of Morse Taper 3 (MT3), making it compatible with a broad selection of standard centres, drills, and boring tools. The machine weighs 755 kg and its overall footprint is 1,650 mm long by 1,060 mm wide by 1,635 mm tall.
The listing includes both a three-jaw and a four-jaw chuck, providing immediate versatility for holding round stock and irregularly shaped workpieces without the need for additional investment in workholding equipment.
