The 45-degree machine beds are constructed from Meehanite cast iron. All of the guideways are box ways with Turcite B. To optimize rigidity and accuracy, the spindle is mounted on double-row roller bearings, along with angular contact ball bearings. The quill inner and outer lining is precision-ground to fit the spindle, thus promoting concentricity.

Optional C-axis and Y-axis functions are available. The turning centers may be used in conjunction with the SL-300 bar feeder. Weighing 8,800 lbs, the bar feeder features 40-mm pretensioned ballscrews; 15.7" swing over bed; 13" swing over carriage; and three spindle options.
