MechMaxx 14x40 Industrial Metal Lathe with Variable Speed and DRO, ...
The 14" x 40" Variable Speed Metal Lathe with 2" Spindle Bore is a precision-built machine designed for gunsmithing, fabrication, and general machining applications that demand power, accuracy, and versatility. With a robust cast iron construction and advanced control features, this lathe delivers smooth, consistent performance across a wide range of materials.
Designed for both professional shops and serious workshop users, this lathe combines modern functionality with rugged durability. Its large spindle bore and optimized spindle design make it ideal for through-spindle work, while the variable speed system allows operators to dial in the perfect cutting conditions for any job.
Equipped with a VFD-driven variable speed system ranging from 40 to 1800 RPM, this lathe provides smooth and precise speed adjustments for improved finishes and tool life. The integrated 2-axis digital readout (DRO) ensures accurate, repeatable positioning on both the cross slide and carriage.
A wedge-type quick change tool post with multiple holders allows for fast tool changes while maintaining rigidity, resulting in better surface finishes and improved efficiency during operation.
This lathe comes complete with an 8" 3-jaw chuck, 4-jaw chuck, faceplate, steady and follow rests, thread dial, foot brake, splash guard, coolant system, and LED work light—everything needed to begin working right away.
With its wide threading range, powerful motor, and durable construction, this lathe is capable of handling everything from fine precision work to heavier industrial tasks. It's an excellent choice for gunsmiths, machinists, and fabrication shops looking for reliability and flexibility.

Built like a tank
It handles my F-250 like it's nothing. 12,000 lb capacity gives me confidence with the heavy trucks. Best investment I've made for my garage.

Easiest garage upgrade I've ever done
These tiles just snap together, no glue, no tools, no prep. Whole two-car garage done in one afternoon. Cleans up with just a hose.

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.
