Pairs well with
Large Spindle Bore for Greater Versatility
Featuring a generous 1-1/2" (38 mm) spindle bore, this lathe can handle larger workpieces than many machines in its class, giving you added flexibility for a wider range of machining applications. The MT#5 spindle taper also supports a broad selection of tooling options for increased adaptability.
Powerful Variable-Speed Performance
The variable-speed spindle ranges from 0–2000 RPM, allowing precise speed control for different materials and cutting operations. Powered by a robust 1.5 HP motor, the machine delivers smooth, reliable performance for both light-duty and more demanding machining tasks.
Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Construction
Built from premium quench-hardened cast iron, the lathe offers excellent rigidity and durability. Its heavier bed design improves overall stability, helping reduce vibration and maintain machining accuracy during operation.
Precision Machining Capability
With a 9-7/8" (250 mm) swing over bed and 29-1/2" (750 mm) distance between centers, this lathe is well-suited for a variety of small to medium-sized projects. Smooth cross slide and compound slide travel allow accurate internal cutting, facing, and beveling operations.
Simplified Thread Cutting
A built-in thread dial indicator helps make threading operations easier and more precise, supporting accurate and repeatable thread cutting.
Digital Readout for Improved Accuracy
The integrated DRO (Digital Readout) system provides real-time positioning feedback for faster setup times, more precise adjustments, and improved machining accuracy across all axes.

What Our Customers Say
Built like a tank
It handles my F-250 like it's nothing. 12,000 lb capacity gives me confidence with the heavy trucks that come through my shop. Installation was smooth and the build quality is commercial grade all the way. Best investment I've made for my garage.
Best investment for my garage
I've always worried about dust, moisture, and dings in my garage. This solved all of that. The airflow system keeps everything clean and dry inside, Easy to set up and worth every dollar.
Easiest garage upgrade I've ever done
I was nervous about installing flooring myself but these tiles just snap together no glue, no tools, no prep work. Had my whole two-car garage done in one afternoon. It looks incredible and cleans up with just a hose. Should've done this years ago.
Worth every penny
Bought the MEC10 with the Honda GX390 engine to dig trenches and do some grading on my property. It's compact enough to fit through my backyard gate but still digs down to almost 66 inches. The Honda engine fires right up every time. Saved me thousands vs. hiring out.
