Combining accuracy, simplicity, and affordability to bring you a proven industry leader.
The Summit 20”, 24”, and 28” Precision Engine Lathes have just the right amount of engineering to afford simplicity of operation, coupled with plain and simple rugged reliability. In addition, built in safety features like the safety clutch in the apron that kicks out the feed and the feed/threading safety interlock eliminating the simultaneous engagement of the feed and threading motion, place these machines in a field of their own — unparalleled in performance.
Available in 40″, 60″, 80″, 120″, 160″ and 200″ center distances, the 20-4″, 24-4″ & 28-4″ lathes feature hardened and precision ground bedways on a heavy one-piece closed grain cast bed that is fully ribbed for maximum stability and even thermal expansion. Standard on every machine is a quick-change gearbox for cutting Metric, Module and Diametral Pitch threads as well as standard American threads.
The engineering excellence, fine workmanship, materials and impressive specifications of the Summit 20-4″, 24-4″ & 28-4″ Lathes assure you of greater production and easy, trouble free operation for years to come.
