The metal lathe is a fundamental tool of precision machining, unlocking endless possibilities for transforming raw metal into functional parts and artistic creations. For hobbyists, educators, and professionals, the question isn't if you can make something cylindrical, but what you'll create next. The Xendoll Metal Lathe Machine W103, built for durability and precision with all-metal construction (zero plastic parts) and intuitive X-axis & Y-axis handwheel control, empowers you to explore this vast potential, especially with precious metals, copper, and aluminum. Let's dive into the diverse projects achievable.

Key Applications

1. Essential Functional Components: The W103's rigidity and precise control make it ideal for critical parts:

• Shafts, Pins & Spacers: Machine precise diameters and lengths for smooth operation in models, repairs, or custom mechanisms (e.g., model engines, bushings).

• Threaded Parts: Create accurate external (bolts, studs) or internal (nuts) threads in aluminum or brass for custom fasteners.

• Custom Knobs & Handles: Craft ergonomic and visually appealing handles for tools or knobs for cabinets/machinery from brass or aluminum.

2. Artistic Turning & Decorative Objects: Go beyond function with the W103's ability to machine complex cylindrical shapes:

• Elegant Vases & Goblets: Sculpt beautiful curves and hollow interiors in brass, copper, or aluminum for stunning vessels or chalices.

• Roman Columns & Architectural Elements: Create miniature columns, finials, or detailed profiles with fluting for models or décor.

• Candlesticks & Unique Pens: Machine intricate bases, stems, or custom pen barrels from conductive or attractive metals.

3. Precision Repair & Specialized Tasks: The W103 is a workshop hero for fixes and unique needs:

• Part Restoration: Re-machine worn shafts, re-face surfaces, or create custom sleeves to salvage valuable equipment.

• Pulleys & Bushings: Resize pulleys or create precise bushings for proper belt tension and alignment in machinery/hobby projects.

• Model Parts & Larger Jewelry: Craft high-precision pistons, cylinders, valves (model engineering), or rings/bracelets (using precious metals/aluminum/copper) requiring accurate dimensions and finishes.
