FAQs About Lathe Machines
1. What is a lathe machine used for?
A lathe is used for shaping metal (or wood) by rotating the workpiece against a cutting tool. Common operations include turning, facing, threading, and drilling.
2. How do I choose the right lathe machine for my workshop?
Consider your machining volume, material types, workpiece size, and available workspace. Bench lathes are ideal for light tasks; heavy-duty or CNC lathes suit high-precision, high-volume applications.
3. What materials can Alpha lathes process?
Alpha lathes can process a variety of materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and plastic, depending on tooling and spindle setup.
4. What safety features are built into Alpha lathes?
Emergency stop buttons, spindle guards, overload protection, and ergonomic control layouts ensure operator safety during all stages of machining.
5. Can Alpha customize lathe specifications?
Yes. We provide OEM/ODM services to meet special requests, including bed length, spindle bore size, electrical configurations, and automation options.
