8" x 16" High Precision Benchtop Metal Lathe with DRO – Variable Speed Mini Lathe (Model 0831VD)
Product Description
The MechMaxx 0831VD Mini Metal Lathe is a compact yet powerful machining solution designed for small workshops, DIY machinists, and professional metalworking environments. Featuring a 1.5 HP brushless motor and a wide variable speed range from 0–2500 RPM, this benchtop lathe provides smooth and precise performance for turning, threading, drilling, and facing operations.
With a generous 1.5" spindle bore and MT5 spindle taper, the machine allows larger material to pass through the headstock while maintaining excellent rigidity and accuracy. The 8-1/4" swing over bed and 15-3/4" distance between centers make it ideal for small to medium machining projects.
Equipped with a dual-axis digital readout (DRO), the 0831VD provides real-time positioning feedback for the carriage and cross slide, helping machinists achieve accurate and repeatable machining results. Its compact footprint makes it perfect for home garages, repair shops, and fabrication workshops where space is limited but precision is essential.
