This Safo Safop Leonard 40-510 is a used lathe — sometimes referred to as a centre lathe or turning lathe — a machine tool used to rotate a workpiece about its axis so that cutting tools can shape, face, bore, and thread metal to precise dimensions. Safop is an Italian manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for producing heavy-duty parallel lathes serving the metalworking and engineering industries.
The machine has been fully reconditioned and is described by the seller as being in excellent condition. The reconditioning process included a complete repaint and the installation of a new electrical system brought up to current regulatory standards, making this a notably thorough refurbishment rather than a cosmetic refresh.
In terms of technical specification, the lathe has a centre height of 560 mm, which gives a swing — the maximum diameter of workpiece that can rotate over the bed — of 1,120 mm. The distance between centres is 5,000 mm, indicating a machine built for long-shaft and heavy workpiece applications well beyond the capacity of a standard workshop lathe. The spindle bore measures 105 mm, allowing bar stock of up to that diameter to pass through the headstock, which is a useful capacity for through-boring and bar-feeding operations.
The machine is located in Italy, available for immediate delivery subject to prior sale, and can be inspected running at the seller's premises.
