Manual lathes are a classic in traditional machining, giving you hands-on control and versatility for many jobs. Here are the key features:
Variable Spindle Speed - Adjust to the material and job, for threading, roughing, and finishing.
Lathe Bed - A cast iron or steel bed reduces vibration during operation, for stability and accuracy over time.
Quick Change Tool Post - Change tools for facing, taper turning, and grooving to get the job done faster.
Tailstock for Support - Support long workpieces and do drilling, reaming, and taper turning.
Carriage Assembly - Adjust the cutting tool for depth, angle, and feed rate for precision and accuracy.
These are the reasons why manual lathes are the tool of choice for precision and custom work.
