Machine Spotlight: FRYER ET-50 XL Easy Turn Lathe.

With IMTS in full mode, we thought that we would do a machine spotlight: on the Fryer ET-50 XL. Easy Turn Lathe. Featured in the Fryer's Spotlight this month, the Fryer ET-50 XL was purchased by Hayward Tyler is a leading manufacturer of electric pumps and motors for multiple industries including renewables, power, defense, nuclear, oil and gas.

When Hayward needed a new lathe, they turned to the Fryer ET-50 XL.

Fryer ET-50 XL is a great choice — The Fryer ET-50 XL was sold to Hayward Tyler by Fryer.

Why do we recommend this great Easy Turn Lathe? Judge for yourself.
