The side-mounted design and standard mounting patterns make retrofitting to existing lathe beds straightforward.
What is the feed range of this gearbox?
The feed range varies by model, typically starting from 0.05 mm/rev up to 4.00 mm/rev for heavy-duty versions.
Can I use this for heavy-duty industrial work?
Yes, we offer a Heavy Duty variant specifically engineered for larger lathe machines and continuous operational cycles.
Does it come with a warranty?
Pentagon machines are backed by reliable after-sales support and standard manufacturer warranties.
How do I select the right model?
Choose based on your lathe bed size and duty requirements (Light, Medium, or Heavy).
Who should choose the Light Duty Norton Gearbox?
Ideal for small workshops and hobbyists using 4-5.5 ft cone pulley lathes for light production runs.
Who should choose the Medium Duty Norton Gearbox?
Best for professional workshops requiring versatile threading on 4-8 ft lathe machines.
Who should choose the Heavy Duty Norton Gearbox?
Recommended for industrial-grade machining on 5.5-18 ft lathes requiring high-torque and extensive thread pitch ranges.
How does the Light Duty compare to the Heavy Duty model?
The Light Duty model is compact for smaller lathes, while the Heavy Duty model offers a wider thread pitch range (up to 28mm) and higher feed rates.
Is the Medium Duty model a good middle ground?
Yes, it balances performance and cost, offering a wider thread range than the light-duty model for standard workshop needs.
