Powered by a 1 HP, 110V motor, the CX706 is designed for turning projects requiring up to a 10" swing over the bed and 21-3/4" between centres. Its variable spindle speed range of 50 to 2,000 RPM allows the operator to match the speed to the material, workpiece diameter, and cutting operation.

The hardened and precision-ground cast iron bed, lubricated slideways, oil-bath-lubricated gears, and quality spindle bearings help support smooth, stable operation. Easy-to-use carriage controls, forward and reverse spindle operation, and a four-way tool post make the lathe practical for general turning, facing, threading, and other metalworking applications.
