The spindle bore measures 3-1/8 inches, making it well-suited for passing larger-diameter bar stock directly through the spindle without special fixturing. What spindle speed range does this lathe offer, and how many speeds are available? The GH-1880ZX provides 12 spindle speeds ranging from 25 RPM to 1,800 RPM, giving operators the flexibility to match cutting speed to a wide variety of materials and operations. Does the GH-1880ZX include a Digital Readout, and what type is it? Yes. This lathe comes equipped with the ACU-RITE 203 DRO (Digital Readout), which provides precise positional measurement to improve accuracy and efficiency during turning, facing, and threading operations. How does the removable gap feature benefit the operator? The removable gap allows large-diameter workpieces to be swung over the bed near the headstock. With a gap length of 12 inches, operators can accommodate oversized work that would otherwise exceed the standard swing capacity of the lathe.
