The professional mini lathe for metal threading is the reference equipment for fine-mechanics workshops, engineering laboratories and manufacturers specializing in precision metal components. With a robust construction and a powerful 1.1 kW motor, this equipment performs advanced operations with industrial accuracy: metric and inch threading, external and internal turning, grooving and facing. The distance between centers of 600 mm and the maximum machining diameter of 320 mm over the bed allow the machining of parts of varied dimensions, from small components to medium parts of high complexity.
The variable speed range with 12 steps (60–1600 rpm) and the 45 different thread types (metric and inch) make the professional mini lathe for metal threading a versatile solution for any application. The MT5 and MT3 tapers, the 38 mm main spindle bore and the concentricity precision of ≤ 0.015 mm guarantee superior-quality finishes and industrial repeatability.

Applications — Professional Mini Lathe for Threading and Precise Machining
This professional mini lathe for metal threading is indispensable in the fine-mechanics industry. Workshops manufacturing components for vehicles (small engine parts, threaded shafts, sleeves) appreciate its precision and versatility. Research laboratories and universities use the professional mini lathe for prototypes and experimental validation of metal parts.
Manufacturers of watches and specialized jewelry benefit from its ability to execute extremely fine threads with laboratory-grade precision. Repair and restoration of vintage machines and collections benefit from its versatility in reproducing spare parts to archived specifications. The light aerospace sector uses the lathe for microcomponents from heavy and sensitive alloys. Compatible Materials — Diversified Threading and Cutting
Carbon and Stainless Steel
The professional mini lathe turns ordinary and stainless steels with guaranteed precision, with 12 speed steps adjustable to different thermal conductivities and hardnesses. Aluminum and Light Alloys
Machining aluminum and light alloys is fast and efficient, with increased speeds (up to 1600 rpm) and fine automatic feed for a smooth finish. Brass, Bronze and Non-Ferrous Metals
Threading and turning of brass, bronze and copper are safe and precise, with controlled feed and stability guaranteed by the ≤ 0.015 mm runout. Work Process — How the Professional Mini Lathe Works
• Workpiece Clamping and Setup: The part is mounted in the universal self-centering chuck. The operator selects the speed from the 12 steps (60–1600 rpm) and the desired threading type from the 45 options (metric/inch).
• Tool Mounting: The cutting tool or threading tip is fixed in the adjustable top slide, adjustable to precise angles for threading, tapered turning or other operations.
• Automatic Cutting and Threading: The part rotates at the selected speed, and the automatic threading system advances the tool according to the correct algorithm for the chosen thread type.
• Precision and Finish: The spindle runout of ≤ 0.015 mm and the ground surface of the slide ensure concentricity and a high-quality finish, compatible with tight ISO tolerances.
• Measurement and Validation: After threading, the part is measured with a thread caliper or using a template gauge to validate the pitch and cylindricity.
• Unloading and Repeating: The finished part is easily removed from the adjustable chuck, and the next one is mounted, optimizing the production rhythm.
The simple control panel and the selector strips for speeds and threads allow quick changes without complicated disassembly, increasing cycle efficiency. Frequently Asked Questions — Professional Mini Lathe for Threading
What is the difference between the professional mini lathe and the universal mini lathe?
The professional mini lathe is specialized for threading, with 45 thread types (metric and inch) and high concentricity precision of ≤ 0.015 mm. The universal mini lathe is more versatile but more generic, with fewer thread types. The professional one is for serious threading, the universal one for hobby and varied work. Can I thread inch and metric threads on the same lathe?
Yes! The professional mini lathe supports 22 metric threads (0,2–7 mm) and 23 inch threads (2 1/2–48 TPI), a total of 45 types. Select the desired type on the control panel, and the system adapts automatically. What maximum part diameter and length can be machined?
Maximum diameter 320 mm over the bed and 200 mm over the cross slide. Maximum length 600 mm between centers. The 38 mm bore allows the passage of large-diameter bars. What is the guaranteed precision?
Main spindle runout ≤ 0.015 mm and chuck concentricity ≤ 0.05 mm, ensuring laboratory-grade precision for threads and parts with tight tolerances of ISO 6g or better. Is the professional mini lathe easy to use?
Extremely easy! The control panel with 12 selectable steps, the self-centering chuck and the slide adjustable to multiple angles make operation intuitive even for operators with minimal experience. The AI manuals provide detailed guidance. What are the electrical supply options?
The professional mini lathe connects to 220V single-phase (standard household supply) or 380V three-phase (industrial supply). Choose the version corresponding to your workshop's infrastructure. Why Choose UZINEX for the Professional Mini Lathe
