FAQs of Smart and Brown England Tool Room Lathe Machine:
Q: How do I operate the manual controls on the Smart and Brown lathe machine?
A: The Smart and Brown lathe features a manual mechanical control system, allowing users to adjust speed, spindle direction, and feed manually. Familiarize yourself with the control levers and reference the user manual for guidance on setting spindle speed (12 available) and engaging the lead screw for threading or auto-feed operations.
Q: What types of materials can be machined with this lathe?
A: Thanks to its robust cast-iron build, variable speed up to 2000 RPM, and cutting thickness capacity up to 25 mm, the lathe is suitable for machining a wide range of metals and engineering materials commonly used in toolroom, workshop, and manufacturing applications.
Q: When should I use the integrated coolant system?
A: Activate the integrated coolant system during prolonged or high-speed machining operations to reduce heat buildup. This helps in maintaining tool life, achieving precision tolerances, and preventing thermal distortion on workpieces.
Q: Where can this lathe machine be effectively utilized?
A: This machine is ideal for engineering workshops, tool rooms, and manufacturing industries that require precise, manual turning and threading operations. Its compact footprint fits well in small to medium-sized production areas.
Q: What benefits do the hardened and ground beds provide?
A: Hardened and ground beds significantly enhance the durability and accuracy of the machine. They ensure smooth sliding of the carriage while reducing wear and maintaining precise alignment during extended use, crucial for toolroom applications.
Q: How does the tailstock travel support my machining process?
A: With a tailstock travel of 150 mm, you can accommodate longer or varying workpiece lengths for drilling or supporting operations, enhancing flexibility and stability during turning or facing processes.
Q: What safety precautions should be taken during use?
A: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, ensure all guards are in place, and double-check workpiece mounting before operation. Regularly inspect the mechanical components and coolant system for maintenance to ensure reliable and safe performance.
