Micro Lathe

The Taig lathe is a small simple lathe used by jewelers and inventors. The Taig lathe is about one hundredth the size of full scale CNC lathes yet it can be extremely useful. Several accessory parts were made for the lathe to increase convenience and productivity. Most of the accessories shown here only save a few seconds but that time adds up quickly as using a lathe is performing numerous small steps. If each step is reduced from 6 seconds to 3 productivity is doubled.
