The heavily ribbed, one-piece thermally balanced headstock and heat dispensing fins evenly dispense heat to reduce deformation, therefore, increasing machining accuracy.

Standard rigid tapping feature provides high-speed precision tapping without the use of floating tap holders. Set-up is easier and depth of thread more accurate, permitting maximum productivity for tapping operations.

The precision direct belt drive system provides greater spindle control, flexibility and serviceability. Pulley ratios fine tune the motor's maximum RPM to match the spindle's maximum RPM, which result in full output at the lowest RPM possible.

GLS-1500 models are available with built-in spindle motors, which eliminate traditional belts and pulleys. This advanced system provides faster spindle response, reduces vibration and power loss, which translate to faster cycle times, higher accuracy, and lowers maintenance costs.
