Striatech DVR direct drive delivers 2HP of constant torque from 50 to 5,000 RPM — no belts, no pulleys, no power lost in transmission. A 4.3″ full-color TFT touchscreen puts complete machine control at your fingertips. With a 360° swiveling headstock that slides the full length of the bed, 17″ inboard swing (28″ outboard with outrigger), and a 10-year motor warranty, the NEUTRON is engineered to inspire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"outline: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; font-family: open_sansregular; color: #2e2e2e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; border: medium none currentcolor;\"\u003eOffered with Cast Iron Stand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"outline: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; font-family: open_sansregular; color: #2e2e2e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; border: medium none currentcolor;\"\u003eThe NOVA NEUTRON combines Striatech DVR direct drive technology with the most advanced control interface ever fitted to a NOVA lathe.

Spindle position is read thousands of times per second, and power is adjusted continuously to hold your chosen RPM through heavy cuts and light finishing passes alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"outline: none; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; border: medium none currentcolor;\"\u003e4.3″ TFT Touchscreen — A First for NOVA Lathes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"outline: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-language-override: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px; font-family: open_sansregular; color: #2e2e2e; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; border: medium none currentcolor;\"\u003eA full-colour graphical interface replaces banks of buttons with icon menus, live RPM and load readout, on-screen digital indexing, service reminders, and QR code access to the manual.
