🔘 The maximum length of the machine tool: The maximum length of the machine tool is the length of the work piece that can be placed on the lathe and turned on it. This length usually varies from 35 cm to 60 cm for small desktop devices and from 90 to 120 cm for large devices with a stand. Of course, some tabletop lathes have the possibility of adding a separate body to increase the length of the workbench, which is one of the advantages of the machine.

A desktop machine has a maximum diameter of 50 cm (from the axis of the machine to the surface of the body of 25 cm) and a maximum length of 60 cm, but in no way can a wood with a diameter of 50 cm and a length of 60 cm be fastened and turned on the machine. The length of 60 cm is for small diameters and the width of 50 cm is suitable for wood with very short length, such as wooden trays, their thickness is about 4 to 5 cm. > The meaning of lever connections and closures is that in the lathe, some parts such as the base of the cave and the base of the bird are constantly opening and closing, and if bolts and nuts are used for these connections, it is very time-consuming and makes the work difficult. Therefore, these parts are made in such a way that they are fixed in place by moving a lever or loosened and move easily. Professionally, in the monetary part of the main axis of the device, there is a round plate, around this plate there are holes with well-defined distances, which are usually 24 in tabletop devices, which can be fixed by turning a screw outside the device. He placed the holes and locked the axis of the device. This dividing screen is used when, for example, we want to divide a big bowl around the circumference into equal parts.
