The whole handwheel is made of super alloy material, which is mounted in X, Z axis and tailstock. With 0.02 mm scale line, the hand wheel increases precision in processing. (The scale lines are shaped at once, no sticky label) 3/4 hand wheel, which is very convenient for disassembling connecting blocks.
The processed materials can be clamped with three-jaw chucks/collets. The maximum diameter is 50 mm, centre height 25 mm, axle distance 150 mm
The motor housing and headstock of all-metal machine tools are fully interconnected. Main parts configure with metal structure and no plastic components throughout the machine body, such as engine box, headstock, handwheels, slider, 3-jaw chunk/4-jaw chunk, turning tools clamping jaw, machine bed, gearbox, side cover, work table, connector, tailstock, countershaft, drive belt cover, etc.
The machine bed is made of European standard T-type aluminum material, which moves more precisely and smoothly. The quality assured 3C transformers have the function of over-current, over-voltage and overheating protection. To improve stability and service life, the terminal block is fixed by square nuts, avoiding losing the screw after a long time.
The length of processed material 150mm; The chuck and collets are 1 to 6mm; X-axis slide travel distance:150mm; Machine size: 310mm x 100mm x 150mm; Bottom plate size: 315mm x 200mm x 17mm
The largest diameter of processed material:50mm (positive clamping range:3mm-30mm, opposite jaw handle range:3mm-50mm; Note: manual measurement, there may be 2-3mm error)
The connecting block adopts a dovetail structure that matches each slot of the machine tool parts to improve its performance and accuracy. Wide Application The rotary tools of the mini metal lathe are made of steel material, which can be perfectly used to process the soft metal (gold, silver, copper and aluminum), acrylic and engineering plastics, etc.
The built-in fan motor is equipped with ultra-quiet and high speed. This is a special option for engine cooling and effective work. Most parts of machine tools are treated with two surface treatment methods of electroplating and inkjet anodizing to make the appearance cleaner and more glorious, durable rustproof.
High performance motor is adopted with all drive axles, maximum speed up to 20,000 rpm; input voltage/current/power: 12V/3A/36W; input voltage of switching power supply: 110V-240V
By adding loose nuts to the side of the small and large slider, not only avoid the gap after excessive vibration, but also improve processing accuracy. The chuck is fixed by a hex nut to increase the tightness of the clamping tools (such as drill, mill, wood lathe).
