The 1989 Giddings & Lewis 513-72 VTC CNC Vertical Turret Lathe is a powerhouse of precision and capacity, engineered for large-diameter and heavy-part machining. It features a 60-inch table (faceplate not included), 68-inch maximum swing, and 72-inch height under rail, with a 62-inch vertical ram travel for deep or tall workpieces. Driven by a robust 75 horsepower main motor with infinitely variable 3–280 RPM spindle speeds, this machine delivers the torque and stability required for demanding industrial applications. Compared to smaller vertical turning centers, the 513-72 VTC stands apart with its 12-tool automatic changer, ANSI-60 taper interface, and the reliable G&L NumeriPath 8000 CNC control. It combines rigidity with flexibility, making it ideal for precision machining of heavy castings, aerospace components, and energy-sector parts. With chip conveyor and manuals included, it’s a true production-class lathe built to endure decades of use.
