Baileigh PL-1340 13" × 40" Precision Geared Head Lathe
Are you running a machine shop or fabrication facility that needs a precision geared head lathe with a Mitutoyo DRO and quick-change tool post on 220V single-phase power?
What if that lathe gave you a 13-inch swing, 40 inches between centers, 70 to 2,000 RPM, and comprehensive inch and metric threading capability in a compact footprint?
Meet the Baileigh PL-1340, a 13-inch by 40-inch precision geared head lathe built for machine shops, schools, and small to medium fabrication facilities that need reliable turning accuracy in a space-efficient machine.
With the PL-1340, you get a 2 HP motor on 220V single-phase power, a factory-installed Mitutoyo 2-axis DRO, a quick-change tool post, and a rigid cast iron base with precision-ground bed ways.
When the PL-1340 is set up for your work, you get accurate, repeatable results on a wide range of turning tasks with a machine built for consistent daily shop performance.
Baileigh PL-1340 for Precision Geared Head Lathe Turning Work
Geared Headstock Delivers Smooth Torque from 70 to 2,000 RPM
The geared headstock provides smooth torque delivery from 70 to 2,000 RPM, covering the full range of turning, facing, threading, and finishing operations on steel, aluminum, and other common materials. This speed range suits both heavy stock removal at lower RPM and fine finishing work at higher speeds without switching drives.
Mitutoyo 2-Axis DRO and Quick-Change Tool Post Improve Workflow
The factory-installed Mitutoyo 2-axis DRO improves positioning accuracy and speeds up setup on close-tolerance work. The quick-change tool post reduces tool changeover time between operations, keeping the machine productive through jobs that require multiple tooling configurations.
Cast Iron Base and Precision-Ground Bed Ways Hold Accuracy
The rigid cast iron base and precision-ground bed ways minimize vibration and hold alignment through repeated daily machining operations. A 6.29-inch cross slide travel and 2.6-inch compound rest travel support a wide range of turning and facing operations on medium-size workpieces.
Comprehensive Threading Covers Standard Shop Requirements
The PL-1340 cuts 31 imperial thread pitches from 4 to 56 TPI, 32 diametrical pitch threads from 8 to 120 DP, and 21 modular pitch threads. Longitudinal feeds span 32 imperial and 32 metric speeds, covering the threading and feed requirements that machine shops and fabrication facilities handle on a regular basis.
