The FMB Turbo 3-38 is the next generation of bar feeders. The RS’s patented sliding guide module fully integrates the bar feeder, guide channel and moving steady rest with the lathe spindle resulting in superior bar stability and RPM performance.
Designed for feeding round, square and hexagonal bar material into all types of sliding, fixed, CNC, or cam operated lathes.
Quick change polyurethane guide channels allow for quiet operation at high RPM while feeding round, square or hex bar stock.
