MURAD Q3 CAPSTAN LATHE If you want a lathe for repetitive production work and don’t want to sell your children to purchase a CNC auto-lathe then here is the answer! This Classic English compact machine is a wee treasure suitable for a small machine shop wanting to turn items requiring multiple operations without stopping the lathe. The bar feed system works well and allows the operator to bring another piece of stock through the chuck without stopping the machine.

The turret holds up to 6 tools. The cross slide has 2 tool-holders. There is an additional attachment that is lever operated mounted above the chuck, giving a total of 9 operations, should you require it. Motor is 3 phase 2hp/5hp (2 speed motor). Speed range: 350 to 4000 rpm (approx). Belt drive multiple ratios. Forward/reverse – works well for tapping. Foot buttons for fast and slow, and stop. Coolant pump and tank. Numerous collets, chucks, plus additional tooling. Needs a bit of paint to make it presentable.
