FAQ's of Industrial Light Duty Lathe Machine:
Q: How do I install and set up the 4-feet Industrial Light Duty Lathe Machine?
A: Installation should be carried out on a level, stable floor, using standard lifting equipment due to the machine's 650 kg weight. Electrical connections must match the 415 V three-phase requirement. After leveling the bed, secure the machine and ensure the spindle, carriage, and tailstock move freely before operation.
Q: What types of materials are suitable for machining with this lathe machine?
A: This lathe is designed for light-duty turning and works best with materials such as mild steel, aluminum, brass, and certain plastics. Its robust cast iron structure and geared head drive facilitate high-accuracy operations on these metals.
Q: When should the coolant system be used during machining?
A: Engage the coolant system whenever prolonged operations or high cutting speeds are expected, particularly with harder metals or when fine surface finishes are required. This helps reduce tool wear, maintain surface quality, and prevent excessive heat build-up.
Q: Where can this lathe machine be applied most effectively?
A: The lathe is ideal for small to medium-sized workshops, tool rooms, training institutes, and light manufacturing units in India that need accurate turning, facing, threading, and basic engraving on light metal parts.
Q: What is the process for changing spindle speeds on this machine?
A: To change spindle speeds, stop the spindle, disengage power, and select one of the six available speed settings via the gear head levers. Always ensure correct alignment before re-engaging the drive to prevent mesh wear or loss of accuracy.
Q: How do I utilize the four-way tool post for efficient operations?
A: The four-way tool post allows you to mount up to four cutting tools at once, reducing tool changeover time. Simply rotate the post to switch between tools and lock in place, enabling uninterrupted operations during complex turning or threading tasks.
Q: What are the key benefits of choosing this manual lathe machine for my workshop?
A: The main advantages include high accuracy, easy operation, low maintenance, and robust construction. Its light duty design is perfect for precise work, training purposes, and producing small batches with consistent quality.
