Manual Precision Lathes
Kent USA precision lathes are designed for turning medium to heavy workpieces with tighter tolerances. These reliable workhorses feature heavy-duty construction throughout to cut big and heavy workpieces. Our precision lathes are built with a solid full-length casting base. In addition, front-loading chip tray for easier cleaning, adjustable overload feed clutches, and quick reversal feed from apron – all of which come standard.
Dependable and powerful, these highly accurate manual lathes are built for powerful machining and minimal downtime. Kent USA Precision Series Lathes are offered with 279 mm x 457 mm to 1118 mm x 8128 mm work capacities, 40 mm to 304 mm spindle bores, and up to 15 kW of spindle motors.
Precision Lathes for Any Application
Our RML and ML-series metalworking lathes come with a full solid cast iron machine base for maximum rigidity. In addition, a front pull-out chip tray for easy maintenance. The ML-series lathe comes with a 76 mm spindle bore, 2-speed tail stock, and 3-position longitudinal feed stops – it’s the ideal lathe for the demanding workshop.
On the other hand, our TRL-series lathe is catered for smaller turning needs. Its small size combined with a full universal gearbox means the full range of inch and metric threads can be set by just the levers, eliminating the need and hassle of change gears. This model is a favorite with small tool rooms and many technical schools.
