Bench lathes are small, versatile machining tools ideal for precision work on smaller projects. Typically used in metalworking, woodworking, and model making, these compact lathes are perfect for hobbyists and small workshops due to their size and ability to fit on a workbench. They offer many functionalities of larger lathes, including turning, drilling, and threading.
Check the lathe's overall condition, including the bed, spindle, and motor. Verify the accuracy and smoothness of the movements and look for signs of wear or damage. Review the machine's specifications to ensure it meets your project requirements.
Use a trusted shipping service experienced in handling machinery. Make sure the lathe is securely packaged and immobilized to prevent damage during transit.
Regular maintenance includes lubricating moving parts, checking and tightening belts and screws, and cleaning the machine after each use. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific maintenance intervals and procedures.
