Description:
The Herbert Arnold Precision 1060 is a precision glassworking lathe built around an 80 mm bore headstock for versatile, demanding bench lathe work in glass and quartz. It is designed for operations such as joining electrodes, producing bulbs from quartz, making glass metal seals, and streamlining repetitive fabrication steps where accurate alignment and controlled rotation matter. The lathe is supplied with standard accessories that include a burner support, a blowing swivel with holder, an electromagnetic brake, an electromagnetic clutch for the tailstock spindle, clamping units for the burner support and tailstock, and a set of tools. The machine is operated from an integrated control panel that includes a main switch, an emergency off switch, right and left turning direction on controls, a stop push-button, brake on and off switching, clutch on and off switching, foot pedal on and off switching, a potentiometer for spindle speed control, and a plug for an optional foot switch.

How it is used:
This lathe is used when you need coaxial alignment and repeatable rotation while heating and working tubing or assemblies in the flame. In scientific and production lampworking, that means keeping seals straight, maintaining even wall distribution during joins, and controlling heat work over longer sections without introducing twist or sag. The burner support positions your hand torch or crossfire where it needs to be, the blowing swivel allows controlled internal pressure while the work rotates, and the electromagnetic brake and clutch let you start, stop, and hold rotation cleanly during critical moments such as closing a seal, setting a shoulder, or stabilizing a hot joint before annealing.
