The spindle bore measures 3-1/8 in., making it well suited for passing larger diameter bar stock through the spindle without the need for additional workholding accommodations. What spindle speed range does this lathe offer? The GH-1880ZX provides 12 spindle speeds ranging from 25-1,800 RPM, giving operators the flexibility to match cutting speeds to a wide variety of materials and operations. Can this lathe handle large diameter workpieces? Yes. The removable gap allows large diameter work to be mounted and turned, and the gap length measures 12 in. to accommodate oversized parts that would not otherwise fit over the bed. What power supply does the GH-1880ZX require? This lathe is powered by a 7-1/2 HP motor operating on 230/460 volts, 3-phase power, making it appropriate for industrial and professional shop environments with three-phase electrical service.
