Overview
The Haas TL-1-EDU is the EDU version of the TL-1 toolroom lathe, and its table carries the same working figures: a 16 in (406 mm) maximum turning diameter, 30 in (762 mm) of Z travel, 8 in (203 mm) of X travel and a 10 hp (7.5 kW), 1,800 rpm spindle. Haas's starting price is US$32,995.
Nothing in the cutting envelope separates the two. The TL-1 lists the same A2-5 nose, 2.3 in (58 mm) bore, 108 ft-lbf (146 N·m) at 355 rpm and 450 ipm (11.4 m/min) rapids. The table does not spell out what the EDU designation changes, so the equipment supplied and any conditions attached to ordering it are questions for Haas.
The spindle drive is given as direct speed, belt drive, with no gearbox row, so the 108 ft-lbf peak at 355 rpm is all the low-speed torque there is. Axis thrust is 3,894 lbf (17,321 N) on X and 1,947 lbf (8,661 N) on Z. The Z figure, half the X figure, is the one that limits centre drilling and heavy longitudinal cuts. This is a lathe for training, prototypes and light production cuts, not for hogging.
Maximum turning length is 30 in, and the table notes that it varies with workholding: a chuck and a centre both take length out of that figure. An 8 in (203 mm) chuck is listed as an option. With the four-station turret the turning diameter is 8 in, half of what is available otherwise. Swing is 20 in (508 mm) over the front apron and 11 in (279 mm) over the cross slide.
For a classroom or a small shop the services are simple: 220 VAC single-phase at 40 A, or three-phase at 25 A on 220 VAC or 13 A on 440 VAC, plus air at 80 psi (5.5 bar) minimum. The machine ships at 4,900 lb (2,230 kg) on a 92 × 69 × 87 in (234 × 175 × 221 cm) pallet, so check door openings and rigging against those figures.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Same 16 in (406 mm) turning diameter and 30 in (762 mm) of Z travel as the TL-1
- Single-phase 220 VAC at 40 A is a listed supply, alongside two three-phase choices
- Belt-driven 10 hp (7.5 kW) spindle with 108 ft-lbf (146 N·m) at 355 rpm
- Ships at 4,900 lb (2,230 kg) on a 92 × 69 × 87 in (234 × 175 × 221 cm) pallet
- 450 ipm (11.4 m/min) rapids over 8 in (203 mm) of X and 30 in (762 mm) of Z
Limitations
- The table does not state what the EDU designation includes or who can order it; confirm with Haas
- Spindle speed stops at 1,800 rpm, where the TL-1P reaches 3,000 rpm
- Z thrust is 1,947 lbf (8,661 N), half the 3,894 lbf (17,321 N) on X
- The four-station turret halves the turning diameter to 8 in (203 mm)

Frequently Asked Questions
01
In the headline figures, none. Both list a 16 in (406 mm) maximum turning diameter, 30 in (762 mm) of turning length and Z travel, 8 in (203 mm) of X travel, an A2-5 nose with a 2.3 in (58 mm) bore, 10 hp (7.5 kW), 1,800 rpm and 108 ft-lbf (146 N·m) at 355 rpm. The table does not describe what the EDU designation changes, so ask Haas what is supplied and who can order it.
02
There are three supply choices: 220 VAC single-phase at 40 A, 220 VAC three-phase at 25 A, or 440 VAC three-phase at 13 A. Compressed air is needed at a minimum of 80 psi (5.5 bar), and the inline hose and coupler are both 3/8 in.
03
Machine weight is 4,900 lb (2,230 kg). The domestic and export pallets are the same size, 92 × 69 × 87 in (234 × 175 × 221 cm). Those are the shipping dimensions and not the installed floor space, so use them for doorways and rigging and ask Haas for the layout drawing.
04
Maximum spindle torque is 108 ft-lbf (146 N·m) at 355 rpm from a 10 hp (7.5 kW) belt-driven spindle. Maximum thrust is 3,894 lbf (17,321 N) on the X axis and 1,947 lbf (8,661 N) on the Z axis. Both axes rapid at 450 ipm (11.4 m/min).
05
Maximum turning length is 30 in (762 mm), the same as the Z travel. The table marks this figure as varying with workholding, so a chuck, long jaws or a centre reduce the usable length. An 8 in (203 mm) chuck is listed as an option.
