Capabilities

The Takisawa TSL-1000 is a precision center lathe designed for detailed metalworking tasks. With a 1000mm center distance and 360mm swing diameter, it handles shafts, bushings, and intricate components requiring tight tolerances. The variable speed range (40–1800 rpm) and fine feed control (0.05–0.7mm longitudinal, 0.02–0.4mm cross) make it ideal for threading, turning, and boring operations in both metric and inch standards.

Industries & Uses

Small to mid-sized machine shops, contract manufacturers, and precision engineering firms rely on machines like this for batch production and custom work. It's equally valuable for tool and die makers, automotive suppliers, and anyone producing threaded fasteners or mechanical components. The lead screw design offers reliability and repeatability—key requirements when accuracy matters.

What to Check When Buying

Before purchasing, inspect the spindle bearings for play and noise, check the bed for straightness and wear (look for scoring or step wear from the carriage), and test all feed mechanisms manually. Ask for maintenance records, particularly spindle service history and any gear or belt replacements. Verify that the chuck, tailstock, and threading capability all function smoothly. A worn machine can still perform well with proper setup, but hidden spindle damage or bed wear can be costly to repair.
