Delivering precision, power and versatility, the Palmgren 8 x 12-inch Bench Lathe easily handles a wide variety of turning operations that normally would be handled by much larger machines. Its heavy cast iron construction, smooth power transmission with helical gears, and hardened and ground ways mean years of trouble-free precision turning. The bench lathe meets the requirements of prototype shops, home machinists, jewelry manufacturing, tool rooms and fabrication and maintenance shops which need to turn small metal parts. Standard on the bench lathe are: 3-jaw lathe chuck, safety chuck and tool post guards, 4-way tool post, centers, chip tray and precision thrust and ball bearings in the head stock. More than 100 years old, Palmgren is a C.H. Hanson® brand. For more information, call 800-827-3398 or visit www.palmgren.com
About Palmgren
Since 1919, Palmgren has been the top brand for manufacturing metalworking machinery for professionals and first-time machinists. The company was founded by Clarence Palmgren, who was acclaimed for his achievements and contributions to the metalworking industry through his innovative designs and patents. He is credited with designing and manufacturing the first machine vises, cross slide, and rotary tables that significantly increased efficiency and productivity with metalworking manufacturers worldwide.
The company’s early work created the foundation of innovation and quality that the Palmgren brand is built upon and follows today. So, it is no surprise that the company continues to be a market leader not only with our vises and positioning tables but across our whole expanded metalworking product offering.
Palmgren today delivers tools for the generations and solutions that solve the needs of the metalworking industry. Recognizing the value of the brand and the need for retailer supplier consolidation, C.H. Hanson acquired Palmgren Steel Products in October 2013. Professionals from all industries throughout the world rely on the company. We are committed to helping our users Embrace the Work™ through our products and exceptional service at every step of every business relationship.
