Applications
The BT500 is suitable for general machining, repair shops, and production environments where large-diameter parts are common. The optional spindle bore of Ø105 mm allows feeding of longer bar stock, reducing setup time. The gap bed design permits turning of larger diameters when the gap piece is removed.
Options and Customization
Several parameters can be selected to match specific requirements: turning diameter, spindle bore, distance between centers, and center height. Please specify your needs when inquiring. Size, color, weight, and brand are also available as customizable properties.
