TAIG TOOLS MICRO LATHE II HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

The TAIG Tools Micro Lathe II Horizontal Machining Center is a precision micro lathe designed for detailed turning operations with maximum turning diameter of 6.5 inches and a maximum turning length of 9 inches. It features a main spindle with a 3-inch diameter chuck and a 6.5-inch maximum swing capacity, capable of running up to 7,000 RPM powered by a 1.0 HP motor. The machine includes one main spindle and supports two-axis control with a Z-axis travel of 9 inches. Its primary tool carrier is a slide type, accommodating a single simultaneous cutting tool for precise machining tasks. The lathe incorporates a machined, ground, and stabilized steel bed providing rugged stability and high accuracy with working tolerances to 0.0005 inches. The spindle is supported by sealed ball bearings and operated via a six-speed positive vee belt drive, allowing for consistent spindle speeds in geometric progression. The tool post is adjustable, and brass gibs on the carriage and cross slide compensate for wear, enhancing longevity and precision. It offers large dial graduations of 0.001 inches for fine feed control. The lathe’s design supports both rough cutting and fine finishing with its capability to take heavy cuts in mild steel or delicate adjustments down to a few thousandths of an inch. Ideal for mini machining and prototyping, the Micro Lathe II balances robustness with precision for versatile small-scale manufacturing and hobby machining applications.
