Frequently Asked Questions
What size workpiece can the HCL 800 D - 230 V turn?
See "Distance between centers" and "Max diameter over bed" in the technical table.
Bench lathes handle workpieces up to 700-1,000 mm between centers; professional models reach 1,500 mm and beyond. For large diameter bowls, check the free overhang.
Is the spindle speed adjustable?
Yes, adjustment via belt change (stepped) or electronic variator (Vario) depending on the model.
Low speeds (200-500 rpm) for large diameter workpieces or roughing, high speeds (1,500-3,000 rpm) for finishing small workpieces.
What spindle mount does it have?
Typically M33x3.5 thread or MK 2 on the spindle. Check the technical table.
Standard mounts allow the use of interchangeable accessories (self-centering chucks for bowls, live centers, etc.) available on the market.
What motor power does it have?
See "Motor power" in the technical table: typically 0.5-2 kW.
For intensive turning of large workpieces, at least 1.5 kW is needed. Hobby bench models range from 0.3 to 0.75 kW for occasional use.
How much does the machine weigh?
From about 30 kg (mini-lathes) to over 200 kg (professional with base).
For intensive use, a lathe weighing over 80 kg is recommended to dampen vibrations and ensure machining precision.
