Baileigh Industrial Introduces Gear Head Engine Lathes
La Vergne, Tenn. (March 2026) – Baileigh Industrial, a leading manufacturer of industrial metalworking and woodworking machinery, announces its line of gear head engine lathes, engineered to deliver authoritative cuts, controlled operation and built-in safety for today’s production-driven shops.
Designed as true shop workhorses, the gear head engine lathes are built to increase output every shift without adding complexity or guesswork. With the strength to handle larger parts, cleaner containment to reduce downtime and UL 987 certification that supports safer workplaces, these machines expand shop capability while keeping operators focused and production moving.
Ideal for:
- Production and job shops
- MRO and industrial facilities
- Training programs
- Fabrication shops
- Operations upgrading legacy lathes
Key advantages include:
- Built-in safety and control – Standard safety package includes a foot brake for fast stops, chuck guard and lead screw cover to reduce preventable errors.
- Cleaner work environment – Full-length splash guard and integrated chip tray contain chips and coolant at the source, minimizing cleanup time.
- Coolant-ready performance – Standard coolant system supports longer run times, heavier workloads, improved tool life and consistent finishes.
- Big capacity where it counts – Core geared-head models feature a 2″ spindle bore to handle common bar work and larger stock with confidence.
- Certified power with room to grow – UL 987-certified electrical safety supports compliance, with upgrade paths including collet closers and taper attachments.
- Faster, more accurate setups – Standard 2-Axis SINO DRO provides real-time position feedback to help operators hit size faster and reduce reliance on manual measurements.
“Shops today need machines that deliver more output without slowing operators down,” said Tony Topf, director of product management, JPW Industries. “Baileigh gear head engine lathes are built to provide the power, control and safety modern shops expect.”
