Metal Lathe // Victor

$10/hour

Suitable for Beginner through Advanced Users.

There’s a reason the engine lathe is considered the original machine tool — nearly every other piece of manufacturing equipment traces its lineage back to it. If you need to turn, face, bore, or thread round stock with real precision, nothing beats time on a lathe.

Our Victor 1340GHE is a heavy-duty, gap-bed lathe built for serious work. With a 13″ swing and 40″ between centers, it has the capacity to handle everything from small precision components to long shafts and larger diameter turning. This is industrial-grade equipment — rigid, accurate, and capable of holding tight tolerances across a wide range of metals.

Whether you’re machining custom parts, repairing hardware, or threading your own fasteners, the Victor gives you the control and capability to do it right. With our Engine Lathe Orientation, you’ll learn the fundamentals of safe and precise operation, no prior machining experience required.
