Small lathe or mini lathe machine generally refers to the manual lathe or CNC lathe with small size. Small lathe can process 45# steel, A3 steel, cast iron, copper, aluminum, plastic, bakelite, wood and so on.

Small lathe is mainly used to process the rotating surface of various workpieces and the end face of rotating body. Such as turning inner and outer cylindrical surfaces, conical surfaces, ring grooves and formed rotating surfaces, turning end faces and various commonly used threads. Equipped with process equipment, it can also process various special surfaces. Drilling, reaming, reaming and knurling can also be done on the lathe. Our company generally only produces small manual lathes or mini CNC lathes for processing metal materials.

1. How to select the model of lathe and how to judge the size of your metal processing project? The answer to this question will determine the two important parameters that your lathe needs to have – the swing diameter on the bed (turning diameter) and the distance between the two centers.

The turning diameter on the bed (SOB) and the maximum machining diameter on the bed surface are the diameter of the largest rotating workpiece on the machine tool and the maximum diameter of the workpiece that can be processed by the micro lathe. The specification of the turning diameter of the bed is generally twice the center height. Generally speaking, the thick and short workpiece is processed on the vertical manual or CNC lathe, and the thick and long workpiece is processed on the horizontal manual or CNC lathe.

On the other hand, the center distance (DBC) is the maximum length of the workpiece that the lathe can accommodate. In other words, it is the length of the part to be machined.

Before purchasing, be sure to check these two specifications to ensure that the lathe you choose can handle the size of your metal turning project.

In addition to the two most important lathe specifications, pay attention to some other specifications, because they will affect the model and price of the lathe. Such as bed width. If your workpiece is very heavy, we suggest you choose a model with a larger bed width, because the operation of the machine will be more stable. And spindle bore. The aperture of general small lathe is 38 / 40 / 52mm, and some special workpiece processing has a great relationship with the spindle aperture. Finally, the spindle motor power and spindle speed of the machine should be considered.

2. Metal lathes and small metal lathes

Metal lathes are a large class of machine tools, which are mainly used for metal turning, but they are also commonly used in hard composite materials such as plastics. Metal lathe is a general term, which refers to any kind of lathe used to process metal. It includes many types, such as center lathe, turret lathe, combined tool lathe, etc.

The most commonly used research type of lathe is micro metal lathe. The distance between centers of these lathes is usually less than 1000mm, the rotation diameter is less than 360mm, and the spindle aperture is less than 52mm. These reasonably priced Mini lathes are very suitable for small factories, family projects, school learning and experimental research projects.

3. The lathe purchase budget you set

This needs to consider the comprehensive budget according to the needs and capacity of the factory. It includes not only the cost of the machine, but also various transportation expenses, taxes, service fees, optional parts expenses, spare parts expenses, etc. Once you set a budget ceiling, you can try to find the best machine for you within that budget. Our sales team will do its best to let you know the price of these devices, but remember that the price will change over time.

4. Available space of workshop

This is a very simple question, but it is easy to ignore. Before you decide to buy a lathe, be sure to check the dimensions, Including floor space of workshop (length and width, as well as the height of the workshop). Similarly, consider the space size before entering the workshop. For example, some customers’ studios are on the fifth floor, and the elevator space will limit the size of the lathe. The most important thing is to ensure that there is still enough machine operation space after you place the lathe, because you still need to work around the lathe, and you should ensure that there is still space for your Workpiece, tool or other auxiliary machine tools.

The models recommended on the above website include not only small lathes, but also medium and heavy lathes. Our professional production technology team not only produces manual lathes, but also devotes itself to producing all kinds of CNC lathes and customizing all kinds of CNC turning centers. If you are interested in our products, you are welcome to contact our sales team at any time. Metal lathes come in various types and sizes. If you read this article, you can already understand that we really can’t immediately decide which model is best for you, because only you know your specific needs and preferences. However, we hope you can find your suitable machine in our suggestions. Or, at least, this article can help you better understand what to pay special attention to when choosing a small lathe for the workshop, so that you can make the most correct choice yourself.
