Our rugged HJ is the perfect manual lathe for job shop production, repairs, reworking threads, and making fixtures and tooling. In addition to machine shops, schools also love the HJ because of its ease of operation and ability to withstand abuse. The hardened and ground main spindle features a 3-point bearing support with taper roller bearings for precision cutting.
