MechMaxx 1440G questions

What power does the 1440G need?

220V, 60 Hz, single-phase for the 2 HP (1,500 W) motor. It will not run on a 110V household outlet, so have a 220V circuit ready before it arrives.

How long and how large a part can it turn?

Up to 39-3/8 in. (1,000 mm) between centers, 14 in. in diameter over the bed and 19-5/8 in. over the gap.

Can it cut metric threads?

Yes. The gearbox covers 34 inch pitches (4-56 TPI), 26 metric pitches, 16 module pitches and 36 diametral pitches.

How heavy is it to receive?

MechMaxx lists the shipping weight at about 1,486 lb, so it arrives by freight truck. Plan for a forklift or engine hoist to unload and set it.

What is the warranty?

MechMaxx covers the 1440G with a 1-year warranty and lifetime technical support by phone or email.
