This lathe combines weight and precision!
The TWISTER XL lathe is a massive and heavy casting machine with compelling key data at an extremely attractive price!
The equipment includes all the essential elements that a machine of this class should have:
Heavy weight due to cast iron design, swivel and slide head, powerful 2 HP motor with frequency converter, can be extended in many ways thanks to various mounting points for additional bed (bed extension/external swivel ), for example, also at the front of the bed for comfortable machining of large workpieces.
With forward/reverse operation, ASR (Euro) safety slot in the spindle, magnetic moving switch unit and much more.
It's versatility and high-quality construction provide the perfect foundation for your turning projects.

Some highlights of the TWISTER XL:

High weight due to vibration resistant gray cast iron design of headstock, tailstock, bed, base and palm rest base
Powerful 2 hp motor with frequency converter
Housing for frequency converter mounted on the left cast foot, with main switch, brake switch and 2 230 V sockets
Thanks to the 2-stage brake switch (slow/standard), the braking time can be increased so that heavy and unbalanced workpieces can also be braked safely.
Spindle M33 x 3.5 with anti-slip groove ASR (Euro) (this can be used to secure chucks, face plates, etc. against possible slippage using a clamping ring)
Various fixing points available for mounting the 500mm extra bed (on the left, right and front bed frame as well as on the front and side cast legs)
This means that the 500mm additional bed can be used both as a bench bed extension and as an external swivel device.
Large center height of 250mm, turning diameters up to 900mm can be machined when the head is rotated (depending on the workpiece!)
Movable control box with magnet function for comfortable work
Wide speed range in 2 belt stages so most parts can be machined without changing the belt

Solid tool holder 400 m with pivot D = 30 mm

Shaft height 250 mm
Turning diameter over bed: 490 mm (up to 900 mm with optional external turning device!)
