Habegger/Neotor (Swiss)

Habegger are probably better known for their range of automatic machines, however, they also produced a range of machines that directly competed with Schaublin plain lathes. The JH102 lathes were practically identical to the Schaublin 102 employing W20 and W25 spindles and beds of identical design and dimensions. Like the earlier Schaublin 102s the JH102 also employed a 2 degree socket in the tailstock, however later machines had 1 and 2 MT tailstocks. All accessories from the Schaublin 102 lathe will fit the Habegger machine including tailstocks. Later, Habegger also offered the JH102 with a 5C collet spindle. The Habegger JH70 principally differed from the Schaublin 70 in that it employed a scaled down JH102 trapezoidal type bed otherwise it was practically identical.

The JH102 was offered as either a bench or cabinet mounted machine while the JH70 was only available as a bench mounted lathe. Habegger produced a very similar range of accessories to Schaublin.
