A micro lathe also styled micro lathe or microlathe is a machine tool used for the complex shaping of metal and other solid materials . Micro lathes are related to full sized Lathe metal lathes but are distinguished by their small size and differing capabilities, application, use, and locations. Sometimes referred to as desktop lathes or table top lathes , micro lathes can be comfortably used in areas where a full sized lathe would be impractical. Micro lathes are well suited for use in restricted spaces where heavy machining or high accuracy are not requirements. Micro lathes find a place in homes, basements, and garages. As they are a popular tool for hobbyists, they are commonly sold through hobby catalogs and hobby websites. Micro lathes are preferred over larger lathes by some professionals, commonly locksmith s, jeweler s, designers , and engineers for prototyping or fabrication metal fabrication work. Despite a more available price point and lower rigidity than their larger counterparts, micro lathes still operate within the required tolerances of many tasks. This makes them particularly useful in applications where small precision pieces are needed for projects like miniature engines that require fine detail and mechanical accuracy. ref name engines cite web url http www.baemclub.com title Miniature Engines accessdate 2007 06 07 publisher The Bay Area Engine Modelers group ... style micro lathe other than form factor.
