¶ Overview
The Late is a Machine to work primary with Metall or Plastics.
Brass is a good Option to Start, Aluminium, Toolsteel and Bronze is ok to.
For Plastics, POM, PTFE and PVC are a good option.
If you try a new Material you have not used before, read about the Tool Geometry first.
For Example: Brass and Plastics tend to 'dig in' if you use the Positive cutting angles.
Keep in Mind, the Lathe rotates a huge Mass at very high speeds and is quite dangerous.
Neighbours don't like the noise: no using machines between 19:30-9:00 and on Sundays.
¶ Check list before turning on
- Eye and hearing protection
- all Safety Interlocks are engaged (Backgear-Cover is Closed, e-Stop is enabled, Chuck Cover is closed)
- The Lathetool is setup right (Toolangle, Toolhight, Cuttingangle)
¶ Clean up
- Vacuum up any waste
- Return drill bits
- Return safety gear

¶ List of Accessories
- 3-Jaw Chuck ~125mm max
- 4-Jaw Chuck ~125mm max
- 5-C Collet Chuck / Collets from 3mm to 26mm in 1mm Increments use
5C Collets are more "Precision Oriented"
They have a fairly small size tollerance +0.05mm/-0.3mm
ALWAYS the closes bigger Collet, never smaller (3.85mm Stock → 4mm Collet | 5.2mm Stock → don't use the Collets, use the 3-Jaw first to get down to <5mm)
There is a small Pin in the Collet Chuck, the Collets have a matching Groove. Always get that matching first before you start tightening the Collet or you'll break the Pin and you have to disassemble the Chuck from the back (Which is a Royal Pain in the Butt)
- Drillchuck for the Tail Spindle
- Variouse Measuring-Tools | Machinists Straightedge, Spiritlevel, Micrometer etc.
- ER25 Collets from 1mm - 23mm? Colletblock (Square and Hexagon)
