Overview
Hobby machinists with limited bench space get a compact metal lathe sized for small parts. The head sliding rails use fully adjustable gib plates, so play in the slides can be set and corrected over time.
Its compact capacity suits small turned parts on a bench, and adjustable gib plates let the owner tune slide fit. Published detail is thin: motor power, speed range, threading ability and weight are all missing. Ask the seller for those before committing.
Who it's for
Home shops making small turned parts on a workbench match its capacities. Machinists who need to pass large bar stock through the spindle, or who need documented motor and threading specs, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Fully adjustable gib plates on rails
- Compact capacity for small parts
- Spindle bore passes small stock
- Motor, speeds and threading not listed
- Small spindle bore limits bar stock
- Short bed limits long work
- Needs a sturdy bench to mount
Performance notes
Finish and accuracy on a small lathe depend on how snug the slides are, and the adjustable gib plates on the head sliding rails govern that fit. Rigidity also depends on the bench it is mounted to. Spindle bore size limits which stock can pass through the headstock.
