• Quality
• Immediately available
• Trade-in options

Quality, know what you are buying

Second Owner always checks incoming lathes thoroughly. Where necessary, repairs and adjustments can be carried out. You as a potential buyer can also always come to our branch in Wijchen to test and measure the machines for desired accuracy and capacities. This way you always know exactly what you are buying!

How do you determine which lathe is right for you? We will briefly explain the most important differences below. This way you can quickly select suitable lathes and focus on what is important to you.

What else to consider when buying a used lathe

There are more relevant features that may influence your choice and use, for example:

• Manufacturers
• Controls and usage
• Digital readout
• Removable bed
• Center distance
• Center Height/Turning Diameter
• Pass through
• Spindle speed
• Maximum workpiece weight
• Engine power

Manufacturers

There are many manufacturers of center lathes on the market. The way of working, as well as the quality of these different manufacturers vary enormously. Common manufacturers of lathes in our changing assortment are for example: TOS, Trens, Cazeneuve, VDF, ZMM, MEXPOL, Stanko, Poreba, Potisje, Colchester, Ernault, PBR, Meuser, Optimum, Graziano, Pinacho, Gurutzpe, Weiler and more!

Controls and usage

Center lathes can be chosen with CNC control or as a conventional lathe. CNC is often used for a lot of repetitive work and larger production. This often requires additional knowledge and control experience. Conventional lathes are often used for smaller series and flexible operations. This again requires more craftsmanship and work experience.

Digital readout

Digital readout is used to determine the position of the machining tool. This can be for one or more axes.

Removable bed

Some center lathes are equipped with a removable bed. Here you can remove the first part of the bed to create a larger turning diameter over a small length. Here you can for example turn larger flanges or use a larger jaw.

Center distance

Center distance determines the length of the metal to be machined. Center distances can vary from very short to very long. The average center distances of the lathes in our range vary between 500mm – 5000mm.

Center Height/Turning Diameter

The center height represents the distance between the center point and the bed. 2x the center height is the turning diameter above the bed. In addition to this standard expression of turning diameter, the turning diameter above the cross slide or in the removable bed can also be important. Turning diameters can vary from very small to very large. Most turning diameters of the lathes in our range vary between 300mm - 1200mm.

Pass through

The bore represents the hole in the spindle. This is used to insert a shaft that you want to machine through the chuck. This allows you to easily machine the ends of a shaft. The larger the bore, the thicker the shaft that you can machine in this way. Most bores of the lathes in our range vary between 25mm – 150mm.

Spindle speed

The spindle speed indicates from which speed to which speed the spindle can be set. Different operations on different types of metal require different spindle speeds. Most spindle speeds of the lathes in our range vary up to a maximum of 3000rpm (rounds per minute).

Maximum workpiece weight

The maximum workpiece weight indicates the maximum weight that can be processed in the lathe. A center lathe is calculated for this weight. All components such as a jaw, steady rest, counter center and tool holder are suitable to withstand certain forces/weights. If this is deviated from, very dangerous situations can occur.

Engine power

The motor power is indicated in Kilowatt (kW). The higher the motor power of the spindle, the more power there is in the spindle. With more power, heavier metals can be processed or operations can be performed faster. This of course also has major consequences for the required power connection of the workshop.
