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.

Worth every penny
Bought the MEC10 to dig trenches on my property. Compact enough to fit through my gate but digs almost 66 inches. Saved me thousands vs. hiring out.
