C6166 Manual Lathe

Overview

The manual lathe is a fundamental and versatile machine tool designed for turning operations on shaft-type and disc-type workpieces. It is operated entirely by skilled machinists through handwheels and levers, offering full control over cutting speed, feed rate, and tool positioning. Despite the rise of CNC technology, the manual lathe remains an indispensable asset in workshops, toolrooms, and maintenance facilities due to its simplicity, reliability, and flexibility.
