Most buyers already know the bed length they need. Pick it and the range narrows to that size — or scroll the full range below.

4.5 Feet Lathe Machine

PAL412

The smallest machine in the range, and the one that fits where floor space is tight. A 20 inch swing and 2 inch bore suit light job work, small repair shops, ITI workshops and training rooms. Full Norton gearbox, so threading capability is the same as the larger machines — only the capacity is smaller.

Specification	PAL412
Width of bed	12" / 300 mm
Height of centre	10"
Swing over bed	20" / 500 mm
Spindle bore	2" / 50 mm
Main motor	2 HP
Net weight	460 kg
Gearbox	Full Norton

Supplied with: full Norton gearbox, chuck plate, set of 4 change gears, steady rest, follow rest assembly, dead centres.

6 Feet Lathe Machine

PAL614

The size most Indian workshops buy first, and the one we sell more of than any other. A 24 inch swing over a 14 inch bed handles the majority of general turning, and the 3 to 7 inch bore range covers most pipe and bar work. If you are unsure between this and 8 feet, the deciding question is the longest shaft you expect to turn in the next five years, not the next five months. Available on bed widths from 14″ to 16″, with the standard specification below.

Specification	PAL614
Width of bed	14" / 350 mm
Height of centre	12"
Swing over bed	24" / 600 mm
Spindle bore	3–7"
Main motor	2 HP
Net weight	800 kg
Gearbox	Full Norton

Supplied with: full Norton gearbox, chuck plate, set of 4 change gears, steady rest, follow rest assembly, dead centres.

8 Feet Lathe Machine

PAL816

Where 6 feet runs short. The step up brings a 28 inch swing, a 16 inch bed and bore to 10 inches, which is the point at which the machine stops being a general workshop lathe and starts handling production work. Still on a full Norton gearbox. Available on bed widths from 16″ to 24″, with the standard specification below.

Specification	PAL816
Width of bed	16" / 400 mm
Height of centre	14"
Swing over bed	28" / 700 mm
Spindle bore	3–10"
Main motor	3 HP
Net weight	1,300 kg
Gearbox	Full Norton

Supplied with: full Norton gearbox, chuck plate, set of 4 change gears, steady rest, follow rest assembly, dead centres.

10 Feet Lathe Machine

PAL1018

First of the heavy sizes. From here the range moves to a semi-Norton gearbox with the 23 change gear set, and the bed is built for continuous running rather than intermittent job work. A 32 inch swing over an 18 inch bed. Available on bed widths from 18″ to 24″, with the standard specification below.

Specification	PAL1018
Width of bed	18" / 450 mm
Height of centre	16"
Swing over bed	32" / 800 mm
Spindle bore	4–10"
Main motor	3 HP
Net weight	1,800 kg
Gearbox	Semi-Norton

Supplied with: semi-Norton gearbox, chuck plate, set of 23 change gears, steady rest, follow rest assembly, dead centres.

12 Feet Lathe Machine

PAL1220

Long shafts, rollers, pipe and column work. A 36 inch swing takes most general heavy turning, and at 2,500 kg the machine has the mass to hold a cut without chatter on long components. Available on bed widths from 18″ to 32″, with the standard specification below.

Specification	PAL1220
Width of bed	20"
Height of centre	18"
Swing over bed	36" / 900 mm
Spindle bore	4–10"
Main motor	3 HP
Net weight	2,500 kg
Gearbox	Semi-Norton

Supplied with: semi-Norton gearbox, chuck plate, set of 23 change gears, steady rest, follow rest assembly, dead centres.

16 Feet Heavy Duty Lathe Machine

PAL1622 · PAL1624 · PAL1626 · PAL1628

Four bed widths on the same 16 foot bed — 22, 24, 26 and 28 inches — so the machine is matched to the weight of the work rather than only its length. A heavier bed on the same length means a more rigid cut on large diameter components. This is the size range where steel plants, rolling mills and heavy fabrication shops usually start. Available on bed widths from 22″ to 40″, with the standard specification below.

Specification	PAL1622	PAL1624	PAL1626	PAL1628

Extra Heavy Duty Lathe Machines — 18 to 30 Feet

Beyond 16 feet we build against the job rather than a catalogue number, because bed width, bore and centre height all move with the workpiece. These are the machines that go to rolling mills, sugar plants and heavy fabrication units. Tell us what you need to turn and we confirm the full specification in writing before quoting.

Any combination

Bed length and bed width are chosen separately

The sizes above are our standard models. Bed width is a separate choice, so a 12 foot machine can be built on anything from an 18 to a 32 inch bed. A wider bed on the same length gives a larger swing and a more rigid cut.

Bed width is chosen separately from bed length. A wider bed on the same length gives a more rigid cut and a larger swing, so the machine is matched to the weight of the work rather than only its reach. Widths between the figures shown are built to order.

Height of centre runs two inches under the bed width, and swing over bed is twice the height of centre. Pick the width that suits the diameter you turn.

Before you enquire

Lathe machine buying questions

What size lathe machine do I need?

Two numbers decide it. The longest job you will turn sets the bed length, and the largest diameter sets the swing. If you machine pipe or bar through the spindle, the bore matters as much as either. Send us those three figures and we will tell you the right model.

Belt drive or all geared — which is better?

Cone pulley belt drive is simpler, cheaper to buy, cheaper to repair and easier to get parts for anywhere in India, which is why it remains the standard workshop machine. All geared makes sense where speed changes are constant, or on heavy jobs where a belt would slip under torque. We supply both, so we have no reason to push you either way.

Is a Norton gearbox the same as all geared?

No, and it is a common mix-up. The Norton or semi-Norton gearbox is the quick-change box for threading pitches and feed rates. Whether the spindle is belt driven or geared is a separate matter. Our cone pulley machines are belt driven for spindle speed and carry a Norton box for threading.

What is swing over gap?

Swing over bed is the largest diameter that clears the bed ways along the full length. Swing in gap is the larger diameter you can turn immediately in front of the face plate once the gap piece is removed — useful for short, large diameter work like flanges and pulleys.

What is the price of a lathe machine?

Price depends on bed length, bed width, spindle bore and the accessories fitted. A 6 feet machine and a 16 feet machine are different products at different prices. Message the size you need on WhatsApp and you will have a figure the same working day.

Do you arrange transport?

Yes. We arrange transport from Batala to your site anywhere in India, and freight is charged to you at actual. You are welcome to arrange your own transporter instead if you prefer.

Do you install the machine?

Installation is not included in the machine price. Most workshops set these machines up themselves, as the levelling and foundation requirement is straightforward. If you want our man at site, that can be arranged at extra cost — tell us at the time of order.

What warranty do you give?

One year against any technical fault. Day to day support is over video call, which resolves most queries the same day. Where a site visit is needed, that is arranged at extra cost.

Message the bed length, swing and bore you need — or just describe the job. You’ll get specifications and a price the same working day.
