Palmgren Bench Engine Lathes

Palmgren bench engine lathes deliver the precision, power, and versatility normally only found in much larger machines to handle a wide range of turning operations. Heavy cast iron construction, smooth power transmission with hardened steel gears, plus hardened and ground ways are all designed to give you years of trouble-free, precise turning.
