Whether you're producing small-diameter precision parts or larger diameter work, selecting the right lathe depends on swing capacity, bed length, motor horsepower, and spindle speed range. Pittsburgh Spray Equipment stocks benchtop models for space-constrained shops—including the compact Grizzly 4\" x 6\" Micro Metal Lathe—through mid-sized production lathes like the 18\" x 60\" South Bend Turn-Nado EVS with digital readout. Grizzly and Grizzly Industrial offer variable-speed benchtop lathes (8\" x 16\" through 12\" x 36\") with modern conveniences like two-axis DRO and milling head attachments, while South Bend delivers traditional heavy-duty construction. Each brand brings different trade-offs: Grizzly emphasizes affordability and feature-density; South Bend prioritizes longevity and rigidity.

SB1009 Super Precision Digital Threading Collet Lathe
This SB1009 Super Precision Digital Threading Collet Lathe features a super precision digital threading control, which replaces the traditional threading gearbox with a microprocessor-controlled, servo-driven leadscrew.
Simply type in the desired thread pitch on the numeric pad of the touchscreen LCD panel and start the threading cycle.
This system controls and synchronizes the main spindle rotation on 2-axis feed rate to produce a precise threading cycle for any given inch or metric thread pitch.
The spindle is hardened and ground then mounted on high-precision pre-loaded angular contact bearings for sustained precision and rigidity. Spindle runout is within 0.00125 mm (50 millionths of an inch.)
All South Bend lathes come with a 2-year warranty which covers parts and assures the unit is free from factory defects.
The South Bend Customer Service and Technical Support Teams are U.S.-based. Parts and accessories for the lathe may be available online and shipped from the South Bend parts warehouse in Springfield, MO.
