  The PROXXON Precision Lathe PD 400 (NO 24 400) is a professional-grade metalworking lathe engineered in Germany for high-precision turning, facing, taper turning, and thread cutting on a wide variety of materials including steel, brass, aluminium and plastics.

  Built with a cross-braced cast iron bed and wide-legged design for vibration-free machining under heavy loads, this precision lathe delivers exceptional stability and accuracy for machining workshops, technical training institutes, prototype fabrication, repair shops, and model engineers.

  The machine’s robust construction includes a precision 3-jaw lathe chuck (Ø 100 mm, DIN 6386), quick-change tool post, rotating centre (MK 2), and adjustable handwheels — all designed to enhance workflow and minimize setup time.

  Additionally, the PD 400 is CNC-ready, meaning it can be upgraded with stepper motors, recirculating ball spindles, and a CNC control unit or compatible software for automated, repeatable machining processes.
