Extraordinarily engineered from the ground up in the truest South Bend fashion. The SB1114F Heavy 13 Gearhead Lathe is driven by a 5 HP motor with electronic variable speed to control spindle speeds between 100-3000 RPM.

A heavy-duty Delta variable-frequency driver inverter ensures smooth, consistent torque at every speed from the 5 HP 3-phase motor without requiring a 3-phase power.

A factory-installed Fagor two-axis digital readout displays the positioning of the carriage and cross slide.

The bed of the lathe is constructed with Meehanite castings that are hardened and precision-ground in the traditional three V-way prismatic design.

Quality Allen-Bradley electrical components and attention to detail provide dependable electrical control of the powered movements.

The lathe is equipped with a foot brake to quickly stop the spindle instead of allowing it to coast to a stop on its own. Pushing the foot brake while the spindle is on also cuts power to the motor and stops the spindle.

The complete and easy-to-read SB1114F manual was written by our U.S.-based Technical Documentation Department and is packed with useful information.
