HiTorque 7450 Deluxe Mini Lathe - 7x16, LED Display 

The LittleMachineShop.com HiTorque 7450 Mini Lathe is the best in its class. It has the most power, the most torque, the most features and upgrades, and the longest bed in its class. It is also proof that all lathes are not the same.

Most noticeable is the LED mirror display which clearly and elegantly organizes the key controls for the lathe. All controls are Illuminated, and it includes a start/stop button, a spindle direction button and emergency power (E-stop) switch. A variable speed control knob allows accurate control of spindle speeds, while an integrated spindle speed display clearly displays the speed.

The 7450 lathe also comes equipped with a 2-axis tablet display DRO connected via Bluetooth to magnetic scales on the longitudinal and cross feeds. It also has 2 digital readouts on the compound rest and tailstock. The DRO system measures in increments .0002" and comes factory installed on the lathe.

A 500-Watt brushless spindle drive motor and belt drive provides tremendous power and low-end torque. There are NO gears to shift, so no gears to break. The drive allows for spindle speeds from 100 to 2500 RPM continuously in both directions. NSK brand Japanese-quality spindle bearings ensure smooth and quiet operation.

Standard on the lathe is an all steel, wedge-type quick change tool post which accepts turning tools up to 1/2" shank. Five toolholders are also included for the most common tools and tasks. The lathe also comes with a 4" Sanou lathe chuck, a Morse taper #2 dead center for the tailstock, and an 11-gear change gear set that includes a 21-tooth gear for accurate metric threading. For more details, see the Contents tab.

Real top and bottom half-nuts with a 16 TPI lead screw and a factory-installed threading dial 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 0.3 to 8 mm pitch with the extra 21 tooth change gear that is included.

The 7x16 lathe includes attractive aluminum hand wheels and chrome levers. A backsplash guard and deluxe chip tray with rubber feet give a broader and more secure stance.
