Gap Bed Centre Lathes Gallery
Lathes have long been essential tools for producing round components such as shafts, axles, worms, and wheels. Even today, manual lathes are widely used for one-off part production and the repair of worn components. Their enduring versatility means we continue to offer a wide range of accessories, including various types of chucks, fixed and traveling steadies, taper turning attachments, tool holders, boring bars, and more.
All of our manual lathes come equipped with both 3-jaw and 4-jaw chucks, as well as fixed and traveling steadies as standard. Our smallest gap bed centre lathe, the L320, is ideal for students or workshops where space and budget are limited. It comes fully equipped and ready for use in any workshop or training environment.
At Semco, we can also build special-purpose lathes tailored to your application, with options such as tool post grinders or custom chucks.
