11″ x 30″ Variable Speed Metal Lathe with DRO – High Precision Benchtop Metalworking Machine (Model 1130VD) Product Description The MechMaxx 11″ x 30″ Metal Lathe with DRO (Model 1130VD) is a high-precision benchtop machining solution designed for fabrication shops, repair facilities, and professional workshop environments. Powered by a 2 HP brushless motor with a variable spindle speed range of 0–2000 RPM, this machine provides smooth, reliable cutting performance for a wide range of machining operations. The lathe features a large 1.5″ spindle bore and a rigid one-piece spindle design, delivering improved stability and machining accuracy compared to traditional two-piece spindle systems. With a swing over bed of 11-2/5″ and 29-1/2″ distance between centers, the machine offers the capacity needed for small-to-medium machining projects. This model also includes a dual-axis digital readout (DRO), allowing machinists to monitor tool position with precise digital measurements. The DRO system improves accuracy, speeds up setup, and reduces measurement errors, making complex machining tasks easier and more efficient. Built for Precision Machining This precision metal lathe is engineered to deliver accurate machining results and versatile performance for demanding metalworking applications. Powerful 2 HP brushless motor for consistent cutting performance Variable spindle speed control from 0–2000 RPM Large 1.5″ spindle bore for handling thicker bar stock One-piece spindle design for increased rigidity and precision Dual-axis DRO system for real-time measurement and positioning Automatic longitudinal and cross feed for smooth cutting operations These features allow machinists to perform turning, threading, facing, and finishing operations with improved accuracy and repeatability. Durable & Reliable Construction The 1130VD metal lathe is constructed with a heavy-duty cast iron bed and precision components designed to withstand demanding machining operations. The wide 7″ bed improves rigidity while minimizing vibration during cutting. Heavy-duty cast iron construction for improved rigidity Wide 7″ bed for increased machining stability Precision MT5 spindle taper for versatile tooling compatibility Quick-lock tailstock for fast adjustments Integrated safety system with automatic power disconnect This robust design ensures long-term durability and reliable performance in professional metalworking environments.
