Turbo 20-100 Bar Feeder

Make: FMB | Bar Length: 12' | Bar Diameter: 0.787” – 4”

The FMB Turbo 20-100 expands on the already established Turbo “Heavy Metal” line of hydrodynamic 12′ through 24′ bar loading magazine feeders.

This unit also offers a one size channel set that automatically adjusts for all material sizes. Quick change polyurethane guide channels allow for quiet operation at high RPM while feeding round, square or hex bar stock.

The Turbo 20-100 automatic bar feeder is compatible with all types of sliding or fixed, CNC or cam operated lathes with spindle bores up to 102mm.
