Simonet DC-102 Plain Lathe The Simonet DC-102 lathe is very similar to the Schaublin 102 and Mikron T90 featured elsewhere in this archive. The DC-102 has a centre height of 102mm and a distance between centres of 400mm. The headstock is fitted with roller bearings and is also available with back gearing (plain bearings only). The headstock spindle accepts Schaublin W20 collets. The carriage features covered slideways and has feedscrews mounted in adjustable ball bearing pillow blocks. The screw tailstock is 1MT. Spindle speeds range from 14 to 2750 rpm. The machine measures 1200X960mm and weighs 285kg. The machine is still produced today and like the Schaublin 102 is available with a large range of accessories.
