Description 

The Shop Fox M1099 benchtop lathe has all the capabilities of a large-sized lathe, despite being in the category of medium lathe machines. As such, in terms of performance, you can expect nothing less than industrial-grade turning. 

 

Here’s more to this lathe: 

Large lathe size

Compared to lathe machines of its class, the M1099 benchtop lathe is relatively large, with a size of 10 inches x 2 inches. And this makes changing thread selections simple and fast. 

 

While other lathes require you to swap change gears for any given thread selection, that’s not the case with this lathe. You can simply go through the thread chart and complete thread change by rotating the numeric and alpha dials on the lathe’s gearbox. 

Precision machining

The Shop Fox M1099 lathe has everything that you need for high-accuracy turning. That includes a variety of chucks, steady rest, faceplates for extensive stock, and more. 

 

The lathe features a 3-jaw scroll chuck for automated workpiece centering. Also, it has solid steel jaws on the outside to firmly hold your piece. 

 

An additional jaw set is also provided with the lathe to aid efficient machining on large parts, so you need not buy one separately. 

 

Further, a 4-jaw chuck along with hardened steel jaws is part of the lathe package. You can adjust and clamp these to the center of workpieces of all shapes. 

6-speed range 

Another remarkable feature of the M1099 lathe is its high variable speed with impressive 6-speed ranges of 150, 300, 560, 720, 1200, and 2400 RPM. 

CNC capable 

The fact that Shop Fox M099 lathes are available as manual turn key machines don’t mean you can’t have CNC machining on these. That’s because an M1099 benchtop lathe conversion kit is all you need to turn this machine into a fully-fledged CNC lathe.  

2-year warranty 

Each of the M1099 benchtop lathe machine units is covered by a 2-year long warranty.
