Description
The Basic 180 Super is the largest mechanics lathe in the KNUTH Machine Tools catalog and is also one of the heaviest machines in this popular market segment. The large bed width of 206 mm (8 in) and a 30 percent higher total weight have a positive effect on the overall machining quality and enable machining services that also meet industrial requirements. Equipped with position indicator, quick-change holder, and other standard accessories, the BASIC 180 Super has been one of Knuth’s best-selling conventional lathes for more than 20 years.
