The LittleMachineShop.com HiTorque 7x16 Mini Lathe is the best in its class. It has the most power, most torque, and a longer center distance than other lathes in its class.

The 500 Watt brushless spindle drive motor provides tremendous low-end torque. And you can vary the speed from 50 rpm to 2500 rpm continuously in both directions. There are no gears to shift.

The cross feed and compound rest dials are graduated in 0.001" and 0.025 mm. A 4" 3-jaw lathe chuck is included, and the lathe is equipped with a 4-way indexing tool post set for 5/16" (8 mm) tools.

Real top and bottom half-nuts and a reversible 16 TPI lead screw provide extended threading capability. You can create every American Standard Unified class 2A inch screw thread from 4 to 80 threads per inch, and you can create every American Standard Metric class 6h thread from 0.35 to 8 mm pitch with the extra 21 tooth change gear that is included. Cutting inch threads is made even easier with the factory-installed threading dial.

This HiTorque 7x16 Mini Lathe for sale includes a chip tray, a backsplash guard, and spreaders to give the feet a broader stance.

This machine is shipped completely assembled and adjusted. Machined surfaces are coated with a viscous oil to prevent rust. It wipes off easily with a rag--no solvents necessary.

The LittleMachineShop.com model 5100 HiTorque Mini Lathe is a version of the SIEG SC2.

*NOTE* We ship machines only to the US and Canada.

Chris Chris' Tips
View a comparison of the specifications for our lathes.

With this lathe, you can create every American Standard Unified class 2A inch screw thread from 4 to 100 threads per inch, and you can create every American Standard Metric class 6h thread from 0.25 to 8 mm pitch with the extra 21 tooth change gear that is included.

But you can actually do make more thread pitches than that. And, there are more change gear combinations than those shown in the users guide. To see what you can really do, see the Change Gear Calculator.

"Far West" refers to ten western states: CA, OR, WA, AZ, NV, ID, UT, NM, CO, WY.

For delivery to Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, we will check with several trucking companies to get the best price and then call for your approval before we ship.

For Canadian shipments we will provide an all-inclusive quotation for shipping, brokerage, and taxes. The brokerage fees are $108. The taxes vary by province. If you have a customs broker or want to self-clear customs please let us know.

A "commercial address" has a company name, a public entrance and posted hours of operation. If you do not have a forklift or loading dock at your place of business, you must add the liftgate fee. If you are running a business at your residence without a public entrance and posted company name and hours of operation it is considered a residence and a not commercial address.

Schools, colleges, universities, university hospitals, military bases, government facilities and other secured locations are charged a limited access fee that is included in the amounts in the chart above.

If you choose Terminal Pickup, and there is not a terminal within 30 miles, we will confirm with you that you still want Terminal Pickup.
