Four Inch Spindle Bore



The 23-MT LION Lathe is a mid-range lathe designed to provide a combination of heavy duty construction, rigidity, accuracy and reliability. It is available in 60", 80", 120" and 160" centers.

This precision 23" swing lathe comes standard with a large 4" spindle bore. It features a precise and accurate spindle fitted with SKF or FAG bearings. It is designed with heavy cross ribbed bed construction and has 15 3/4" wide bedways. A heavy duty clutched headstock with hardened and ground gears makes for easy cutting. In addition, this lathe offers many high-end convenience features such as simplified joystick feed operation, standard

4-way rapid traverse and a 2-speed tailstock.

"Like most LION models, this lathe is extremely capable in the threading department," said a company spokesperson. It cuts both inch and metric threads without change of gear. And it offers a large selection of threads (72 different threads) with a range of 60 - 1/4 TPI.

"Many other LION models boast similar features," said the spokesperson. "But what the feature and specification sheet will not tell you is the reliability and longevity of these machines. These attributes have been synonymous with the LION brand over the last 40 years."

European LION Lathe sizes range from 16" x 40" all the way up to 40" x 240".
