Lathe

Description

Our lathe can easily turn pump fittings and parts for scientific instruments from a variety of materials including stainless steel. We have one of the largest listings of vacuum pump fittings available and this area is constantly increasing. The lathe is also used for custom turning work for a variety of applications. Very small probe parts and ferrules up to large pump fittings are routinely made in our shops. Tolerances of ±0.001" are routinely achieved.
