FAQs of Light Duty Lathe Machine:
Q: How can I use this light duty lathe machine for general metalworking operations?
A: This lathe machine is designed specifically for general metal turning, facing, drilling, parting, and threading. Simply secure your workpiece between centers, select the appropriate speed from the 8 available, and use the 4-way tool post to perform your desired machining operation all under manual control.
Q: What materials can the lathe machine handle efficiently?
A: The machine is ideal for most common metals typically used in workshops, including mild steel, brass, aluminum, and similar materials, with a cutting thickness of up to 10 mm. Its robust cast iron structure ensures stable and precise machining for standard shop requirements.
Q: When is it beneficial to choose a manual, light duty lathe over a CNC system?
A: A manual, light duty lathe is practical for small batch production, prototyping, repair jobs, or where hands-on control and adjustments are needed frequently. Its cost-effective for operations not requiring automation and perfect for users prioritizing high precision and flexibility.
Q: Where can this lathe machine be installed and operated?
A: Due to its compact size (1500 x 500 x 800 mm) and moderate weight (350 kg), this machine is suitable for small workshops, educational institutions, tool rooms, and light manufacturing units. It can operate on either single- or three-phase 220 V supply, making it versatile for various settings.
Q: What is the process for changing speeds on this lathe?
A: Speed changes are accomplished manually, allowing you to select from 8 available speeds depending on your material and the required operation. Refer to the machines speed chart to choose the optimal setting for each machining task.
Q: How does this lathes cast iron structure benefit users?
A: The cast iron structure minimizes vibration and increases stability, leading to superior surface finish and consistent dimensional accuracy of machined parts. It also greatly enhances the machines durability, ensuring long-term performance even under regular use.
Q: What are the main advantages of the 4-way tool post feature?
A: The 4-way tool post allows rapid tool changes and efficient multi-tool setups, making the machining process more productive by reducing downtime and improving workflow flexibility. This is particularly valuable in small batch production or jobs requiring frequent tool changes.
