2020B Lathe, 2HP, 1 or 3PH, 220V

The 2020B Lathe comes with enhanced features. It has a digital RPM readout for precise speed control. The headstock has built - in spindle indexing, and the redesigned tailstock offers internal storage. The handwheels are chrome - trimmed, and the self - ejecting laser - etched quill is a great addition. The features you love from the 3520B Lathe are now available in a smaller footprint. The PM2020 Lathe is ideal for turners with limited space or projects that need a short bed. It features a sliding headstock, electronic variable speed with low and high ranges, and a spindle lock. Other features include a two - position mount for the optional bed extension, a sliding hammer knockout rod with a brass tip, an attached tool caddy, and a metal shelf for tool storage. The brass - tipped knockout bar focuses the action in the sliding handle without damaging drive centers. The redesigned tool rest geometry allows for better chisel movement. A set of dead centers helps hold a spindle for visual comparison.

Using the 2020B Lathe is easy. First, plug it into a 220V power source that matches the 1 or 3 - phase requirement. Adjust the speed using the digital RPM readout for accurate and precise work. When using the headstock, you can use the spindle lock and indexing for drilling and routing. The sliding headstock gives you flexibility in positioning. The tailstock's internal storage is great for keeping extra accessories handy, and the attached tool caddy lets you quickly grab centers and wrenches. For maintenance, regularly clean the cast - iron bed to prevent debris build - up. Check the motor amps and make sure the recommended circuit size of 20 amps is used. The brass - tipped knockout bar and other parts should be inspected for wear and tear.
