Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a lathe and a milling machine?
A lathe rotates the workpiece while a cutting tool shapes it, ideal for cylindrical parts. A milling machine rotates the tool and is used for flat surfaces, slots, and complex shapes.
What materials can this lathe machine?
This machine can handle materials such as mild steel, aluminium, brass, and plastics depending on tooling and setup.
Is this lathe suitable for training and workshops?
Yes, it is specifically designed for training, repair work, and production environments, making it ideal for workshops and technical training centres.
Can this lathe cut different types of threads?
Yes, it supports metric, Whitworth, diametric, and module threading, offering versatility for various engineering applications.
What maintenance does this lathe require?
Routine maintenance includes lubrication, cleaning swarf, checking alignment, and ensuring coolant and oil levels are maintained.
