The Basics
We've got an APTC 460 lathe. Vital statistics are as follows:
- 1.5hp motor
- 250/650/900/1700 RPM
- 100mm chuck
- 460mm between centers
- MT2 tailstock (currently fitted with a 13mm drill chuck)
Our lathe is suitable for turning metals and plastics. Aluminium, brass, copper, delrin/acetal and nylon shouldn't present any problems. It should be possible to machine mild steel too, though you may find some additional cooling is necessary.
