The Basics of Buying a Lathe



 Lathes have been known to represent the oldest technology for machining. Though it is linked to early machining stages, it still plays a vital role when you plan to buy a new machine.

The prime feature of a lathe is the workpiece turns, resistant to the tool. Therefore, the work of a lathe is called Turning. The process of machining is the Turning that is used to make cylindrical or round parts. The lathe works in the reduction of the workpiece dimension to a particular dimension, thereby helping to produce a smooth surface finishing. 

Today very few lathes are not CNC controlled. But you still are given an option to buy a new or used manual lathe. If it is equipped for automatic changing tools, like the tool turret, the CNC lathe is called Turning center. The CNC Turning center comes in varied capabilities, sizes, and operations.

Machine Specifications

It does not matter how many motion axes are required when you are purchasing a used cnc lathe make sure you consider the weight, size, accuracy, geometric complexity, and the material parts.

The most common question when you buy a lathe machine is the chuck size to hold the meant parts. It must have a capacity of 5 – 66 inches diameter or a little larger too.

The machine parts and their accuracy are very important when buying used cnc machines. These two features specify the quality and capabilities of the machine. 

Hence, before buying used cnc milling machines make sure you consult or seek help from an expert to avoid unnecessary future troubles.
