RECORD POWER DML305 Cast Iron Midi Lathe
The new DML305 is available to buy at Caulfields and is a very well built cast iron midi lathe with the potential to expand. The bed is made of finely ground cast iron for weight and rigidity and is fitted with cam locking toolrest that clamps easily and solidly to the bed with one handed operation. The DML305 comes with 393mm between centres but optional bed extensions can be added to increase this capacity.
The swing over the bed is 305mm and the motor is 1/2hp providing ample power for the capacities of the lathe. The spindle has an M33 thread to ensure a wide range of Record Power accessories can be fitted and the whole machine is well finished with polished metal handles, a spindle lock with indexing and graduated markings on the tailstock barrel.
There is even a tool tray attached to the headstock to keep essential items close to hand. Many of these features are normally only found on expensive professional lathes.
The machine can be bench mounted or there is a very sturdy and simple fabricated steel legstand available as an optional extra. Optional legs can be added if necessary when cast bed extensions are used in conjunction with the stand.
