Several upgrades areincluded in the purchase price. Standard equipment is the same as onthe model 4000; that is, 90 VDC motor with electronic speed controller,a 2.75" (70mm) x 6.0" (152mm) crosslide, pulleys, belt, faceplate, lathedog, two dead centers, three hexagonal keys, sharpened high-speed steelcutting tool, eight-foot, three-wire power cord and instruction booklet.In addition, the model 4400 lathe has a 24" (610mm) bed that has 17"(431mm) between centers, a 2.5" (63mm) resettable “zero” handwheel onthe leadscrew, two 2" (51mm) resettable “zero” handwheels on the crosslideand feed screw and a rocker tool post (P/N 3057) substituted for thestandard tool post used on the shortbed lathes. The electronic speedcontrol allows continuously variable speed control from 70 to 2800 RPMwithout belt changes.There is a second pulley position available that offers extra torque atlow RPM if needed.Many machinists find that the extra space between centerscomes in handy when working with a part held in a chuck and a larger tailstockchuck with a long drill bit in place. The combination of chucks, part anddrill can eat up a lot of the available center-to-center distance, and alittle extra capacity is often appreciated.This lathe offers the same diameterturning capacities as the shorter lathe and same powerful motor/speed control.The differences are both the extra 9” of center distance and the addition ofextras like the adjustable zero handwheels and rocker toolpost, making thislathe a good value for the extra cost.4400C Package Includes:1270 (1280 metric) Compound Slide3100 Thread Cutting Attachment3.1" 3-jaw Chuck
