hipat capstan lathes are productive machines, suitable for turning, drilling, boring, facing & threading with full norton gear box with semi-skilled operating pieces of jaw chuck.

head stockall geared & running parts of head stock are head-treated & ground. Mounted on heavy duty tapered roller bearings & running in oil bath.
cross sllideheaving hand & auto longitudinally as well as transverse feed. Threading range 4 to 60 t.p.i. Through full norton gear box. 4 speeds are provided self shaft for fine & rough turning for cross slide & turret feed, also longitudinal stop provided.
turret headthe turret slide is provided with longitudinal power feed & hand operated feed. Longitudinal stop is also provided & the stop rod revolves automatically together with the rotating turret head.

The spindle is driven, either by foot power from a treadle and flywheel or by a belt or gear drive to a power source. In most modern lathes this power source is an integral electric motor, often either in the headstock, to the left of the headstock, or beneath the headstock, concealed in the stand.

In addition to the spindle and its bearings, the headstock often contains parts to convert the motor speed into various spindle speeds. Various types of speed-changing mechanism achieve this, from a cone pulley or step pulley, to a cone pulley with back gear (which is essentially a low range, similar in net effect to the two-speed rear of a truck), to an entire gear train similar to that of a manual-shift auto transmission. Some motors have electronic rheostat-type speed controls, which obviates cone pulleys or gears.

re miniature versions of a general-purpose center lathe (engine lathe). They typically have swings in the range of 3 to 7 (70 mm to 170 mm) diameter (in other words, 1.5 to 3.5 (30 mm to 80 mm) radius). They are small and affordable lathes for the home workshop or MRO shop. The same advantages and disadvantages apply to these machines as explained earlier regarding 3-in-1 machines.

As found elsewhere in English-language orthography, there is variation in the styling of the prefixes in these machines names. They are alternately styled as mini lathe, minilathe, and mini-lathe and as micro lathe, microlathe, and micro-lathe.

basic type of lathe that may be considered the archetypical class of metalworking lathe most often used by the general machinist or machining hobbyist. The name bench lathe implies a version of this class small enough to be mounted on a workbench (but still full-featured, and larger than mini-lathes or micro-lathes). The construction of a center lathe is detailed above, but depending on the year of manufacture, size, price range or desired features, even these lathes can vary widely between models

A four walled closed type with oil bath apron & Norton having a best quality gears, sliding & surfacing feeds can be engaged by tightening a star knobs & engaging leaver at appropriate position.

The spindle is driven, either by foot power from a treadle and flywheel or by a belt or gear drive to a power source. In most modern lathes this power source is an integral electric motor, often either in the headstock, to the left of the headstock, or beneath the headstock, concealed in the stand.

HIPAT CENTER LATHES are well suited for all common turning surfacing and screw cutting operation with accuracy conforming to nearby grade 1 limits. These heavy duty lathe machines are specially designed for continuous light and heavy duty job and to give prolonged efficient life these lathes are worthy of a place in every machine shop where economy of operation, precision and reliability are primary considerations.

THE BED is made of close grained cast iron, having unusual strength and long wearing qualities it is machined and ground to finish and is well bracked to withstand vibration free operation, under heavy cutting load the casting are fully seasoned and removal gap piece is fixed.

HEAD STOCK:-The flat seat of headstock over the bed is perfectly matched by precision hand scrapping. Its spindle is made from high carbon steel which rotates on two cylindrical split type gun-metal bushes of grade 1 composition both at the front and at the back for smooth running and perfect balancing the machines are also made with headstocks fitted with tapper roller thrust bearings. During the operation of the machine eight different feed movements can be arranged by means of specially constructed four step cone extraction V-Belt gear mechanism. The headstock gears have HELICAL HOB-CUT TEETH.

THE APRON is of double well design with independent drive motion for feeds and screw cutting simultaneous arrangement of feed and screw cutting is prevented by an interlock mechanism.

THE TAIL STOCK is of special and sturdy design, it is guided inverted V and flat way bed independent of the saddle guides and has on off setting device for tapper turning.

THE SADDLE is of heave design for stable rigid longitudinal movement. A compound rest accurately graduated is mounted on the saddle for conical turning and can be swiveled on either side. A revolving four way steel tool post is provided. The rack is of steel with machine cut teeth.

A toolroom lathe is a lathe optimized for toolroom work. It is essentially just a top-of-the-line center lathe, with all of the best optional features that may be omitted from less expensive models, such as a collet closer, taper attachment, and others. There has also been an implication over the years of selective assembly and extra fitting, with every care taken in the building of a toolroom model to make it the smoothest-running, most-accurate version of the machine that can be built. However, within one brand, the quality difference between a regular model and its corresponding toolroom model depends on the builder and in some cases has been partly marketing psychology. For name-brand machine tool builders who made only high-quality tools, there wasnt necessarily any lack of quality in the base-model product for the luxury model to improve upon. In other cases, especially when comparing different brands, the quality differential between (1) an entry-level center lathe built to compete on price, and (2) a toolroom lathe meant to compete only on quality and not on price, can be objectively demonstrated by measuring TIR, vibration, etc. In any case, because of their fully ticked-off option list and (real or implied) higher quality, toolroom lathes are more expensive than entry-level center lathes.
