Buying one size too small is the most common turning mistake. A shop buys for the work it has today, then turns away the shaft that is 200 mm too long, or the flange that will not clear the gap bed. The second mistake is the opposite: a heavy-duty lathe bought for occasional large work that spends most of its life doing small parts badly.
- Bench through heavy-duty sizes so the machine matches the part rather than the other way round
- Gap-bed models for occasional large-diameter flange work without buying a bigger lathe
- Pipe threading lathes for oilfield and pipeline service work
- Single and double column vertical lathes for short large-diameter parts
Who Buys Turning Machines and Why
Who It Is For
- Job shops turning shafts bushes flanges and rolls
- Maintenance workshops repairing plant components
- Training workshops and technical colleges
- Pipe and oilfield service shops needing threading capacity
Where These Machines Are Used

Turning Questions
How do I choose between a gap-bed lathe and a bigger lathe?
Work out how often you turn parts that only fit over the gap. If it is occasional, the gap bed saves you money and floor space. If it is regular work, buy the swing.
Which lathe suits a training workshop?
The bench and small engine lathes. They are safe to run, take standard tooling, and let a class work on several machines at once.
Can you supply tooling and chucks with the lathe?
Yes. We manufacture chucks and collet systems as part of our accessories range, so tooling ships with the machine.
What is the lead time?
It depends on the model and whether it is in stock. Send us the model and quantity and we will confirm a date before you place the order.
