SHOPMASTERTM  PATRIOTTM 


The SHOPMASTER PATRIOT VFD is the result of  27 years of innovations and has features and functions designed by us and also from suggestions of our customers.  It represents the only truly fully functional lathe and milling machine in a single compact package.  Unlike other 3 in 1 machines which are variations of our old 1980's designs, the PATRIOT is a modern machine with modern functions. 

In order to offer the most flexibility in your machine choice, we have designed the Patriot VFD
as a manual machine in its standard form.  In this way we keep the price low for those who have
no need for power feeds, threading* or CNC.  However, we offer those functions as options in a
variety of formats so you may configure the machine to suit your needs.   For example, if you want
simple power feed on X, Y or Z axis, just order the ST 91 single axis power feed.  Later on you can upgrade to another axis by simply ordering another stepper motor.  Because our power feed motors
and CNC motors are the same, you may trade in your Power feed controller towards the CNC
controller and use all your existing motors.  This modular design offers each customer all the
flexibility he needs to configure his machine at the beginning for maximum value, yet allow him
to upgrade as time goes along.

WHY IS THE PATRIOT THE ONLY CHOICE FOR SERIOUS MACHINISTS ?

POWER   twin  1.0 hp motors  give you double the power of any other
                3 in 1 machine

MASS      900 LBS of heavy castings and solid steel 6 leg bench gives
              you the mass found in commercial machines- other 3 in 1
              machines charge extra for sheet metal benches  and their total
              weight is barely 1/2 that of a PATRIOT.

FUNCTION Single phase 220 volt input to an inverter gives you
                smooth powerful 3 phase power to your spindles with
                speed adjustment done by electronic controls.  All power
                feeds and threading are done by stepper drives, allowing
               you to change both spindle speeds and feed  rates on the fly.

DESIGN  The PATRIOT is designed as a full mill and lathe with no
                compromises. Other 3 in 1 machine are basically a lathe
                with a  mill / drill press head added on.
