What is a Mini Lathe?
A mini lathe is a lathe designed to create small, precision parts. They are used by model makers, inventors, watchmakers and jewelers. A lathe is a machine tool that creates a product by cutting away material from a solid material in a cylindrical process. The end product is symmetrical and can range from a simple pin to a more complex finished product. The mini lathe has all the same features as a metal lathe, but can also be used for wood and plastics if required.
