Accurate turning starts with reliable and properly selected equipment. In this category you will find metal lathes designed for machining cylindrical, conical, threaded, or more complex workpieces – for both individual craftsmen and industrial companies.

Who are metal lathes for?

These machines are essential wherever highly precise, stable, and consistent machining of workpieces is required:

For manufacturing companies and technical schools – for training or series production

For auto repair shops and workshops – for turning shafts, threaded parts, spindles

For professionals seeking flawless surface and geometric accuracy

What will you find in our assortment?

Compact lathes – Ø20–27 mm spindle bore, for small-scale jobs

Industrial lathes – up to 1500 mm between centers, with 5.5 kW motors

DRO models – digital readouts for increased accuracy

Lathes with CW/CCW, threading, tapping, and automatic feed

Stable cast iron structures with hardened prismatic guides

Configurations with chucks, cooling, foot brakes, and more

How to choose the right lathe?

When selecting equipment, consider:

• Workpiece diameter and length – do you need 500 mm or 1500 mm between centers?
• Speed range – e.g., 50–2500 rpm
• Threading capability – metric, inch, or modular threads required?
• Need for DRO – is real-time positioning important?
• Taper type (MK2–MK5) – for spindle compatibility
• Cooling and safety functions – especially for extended work with steel
• Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is the difference with DRO models?

DRO (Digital Read-Out) displays the position in real time, helps avoid errors, and ensures consistency.

Are these lathes suitable for threading?

Yes – many models allow threading in various modes, including CW/CCW direction change.

Can they machine not only steel but also non-ferrous metals and plastics?

Yes – if the lathe has adjustable speed and strong guides, it is suitable for various materials.

How to ensure the most accurate turning?

Choose models with prismatic guides, DRO, induction hardening, and quality feed mechanisms.
