Metal Lathes Purpose and benefits Enables precise turning of metal parts by rotating the workpiece against a cutting tool, producing cylindrical forms with smooth finishes. Helps achieve consistent tolerances and surface quality for mechanical components, reducing manual finishing work. Broad material compatibility with common metals such as steel, aluminum, brass, and bronze when paired with appropriate cutting tools. Core capabilities Turning and facing operations to create round surfaces and end faces. Optional threading, parting, and grooving capabilities on models equipped for them. Adjustable bed and accessory compatibility for flexible setups. Build and materials Rigid construction featuring a cast iron bed and robust guideways for stability and accuracy. Heavyduty components designed for longterm reliability in workshop environments. Compatibility and accessories Designed to work with standard chucks, tailstocks, tool posts, and cutting tools. Compatible with common metric and imperial tooling sets and accessories. Performance and operation Intuitive controls for selecting speeds and feeds where available. Smooth spindle operation and feed movement for repeatable results. Simple setup and alignment process to minimize downtime. Size and configurations Available in bench and floorstanding configurations to suit different workshop footprints. Workpiece capacity and weight limits vary by model; refer to modelspecific specifications. Use scenarios Prototyping and smallbatch production of mechanical parts such as shafts, bushings, and spacers. and refurbishment tasks in maintenance shops, including replacement of worn cylindrical components. Educational and hobbyist machining projects for skill development and custom metalwork. Maintenance and safety Regular lubrication and cleaning maintain accuracy and extend component life. Follow manufacturer safety instructions when operating and adjusting tooling.
