INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE Lathe.
Model CL430M comprises the lathe only, whereas the CL500M comprises the lathe
with Mill Head, making it a complete machine centre. Please note that it is not possible
to add a Mill Head to the CL430M, to convert it to a CL500M, at a later date.
The flat lathe bed is solidly constructed from cast iron giving it exceptional rigidity
and stability, making it an ideal tool for general turning operations.
