Lathe Machine

Lathe machines have long stood at the heart of mechanical and industrial production. Known as the "mother of machine tools", lathes are essential in shaping solid materials into precise, usable components. Whether it is a simple wooden table leg or a complex aircraft part, lathes make it possible through controlled rotation and cutting.

Used across industries from automotive to construction, lathes transform cylindrical materials into exact shapes and sizes. With the right machine, users can achieve efficiency, accuracy, and repeatability — all crucial factors in modern manufacturing.

We bring you high-performance lathe machines that combine precision engineering with operational reliability.

Types of Lathe Machines

1. Manual Lathes: Manual lathes are operated by hand and are best for short production runs, maintenance tasks or educational purposes. They offer more control but require greater skill from the operator. 
2. CNC Lathes: Computer Numerical Control (CNC) lathes offer automation and precision. These are used for high-volume tasks and allow for complex cuts through programmable functions. 
3. Mini Lathe Machines: Mini lathes are compact and easy to move. They are suitable for small workshops, schools and hobbyists. Despite their size, they offer good precision and performance for lighter materials. 
4. Wood Lathes: Wood lathes are designed specifically to shape wooden components. They can handle a range of woodturning tasks, such as spindles, bowls, and legs. Machines like the AZZURRA TA 120 are examples of professional-grade wood lathes.

Features That Make a Difference

Lathe machines are defined by their construction and functionality. We focus on models that offer both strength and ease of use.

Structure

All lathes include a bed, spindle, headstock, tailstock, and carriage. These form the backbone of the machine, enabling smooth rotation and steady support during cutting.

Precision and Control

Our machines provide stable cutting operations with reduced vibration, ensuring smoother finishes and better material control.

Safety and Efficiency

Safety features such as emergency stops, guard covers, and overload protection make our machines suitable for a wide range of operators.

Portability (for Mini Lathes)

Mini lathes are light and easy to relocate. They are ideal for flexible workshop setups or for institutions where space is limited.

Versatility

Lathe machine can handle a wide range of operations:

• Turning
• Facing
• Knurling
• Thread cutting
• Drilling
• Boring
• Tapering

Choosing the Right Lathe Machine

When selecting a lathe machine, consider the following factors:

• Material Type: Wood and metal require different types of machines. A wood lathe, like the AZZURRA TA 120, is not suitable for heavy metalworking.

• Size of Workpieces: Mini lathes are great for small parts. For larger items, a full-sized machine with a robust bed and spindle is necessary.
• Type of Operation: Choose manual lathes for flexibility or CNC for automated, complex jobs. Manual lathes are more hands-on, while CNC machines are perfect for high-volume consistency.
• Skill Level: Beginners may prefer simpler manual or mini models. Professionals might require programmable systems or specialised lathes.
