Equipped with a 50mm self-centring 3-jaw scroll chuck and safety interlocked chuck guard, this 13-16.5kg machine balances portability with professional-grade capability, ideal for millennial makers seeking precision and reliability in a small footprint. ## Description A high quality, miniature metalworking lathe, constructed to a very high standard around a cast iron, hardened and ground bed. The spindle is powered by a 150W motor through a variable speed drive giving spindle speeds of 100-3,850rpm. With a swing of 110mm and 125mm between centres, this is an ideal machine for making small parts for models and integrating metal parts into woodturning projects etc. Weighing only 13kg, this is a very portable but capable machine. It is fitted with a 3-jaw self-centring chuck with reversible jaws, single tool post taking 8mm tooling, splash guard and interlocked chuck guard for safety. The spindle thread is 14 x 1mm and has a 10mm bore. Review: micro lathe - overall the lathe is set up in a WORKABLE CONDITION BUT IT DOES NEED WORK TO GET IT JST RIGHT. i knocked a star off as the spindle pulley wasnt tight and worked its way loose until the machine jammed and went into error mode during its run-in cycle. during a phone call to Axeminster Tools they offered suggestions and i spotted the problem and fixed it. the tailstock is not adjustable and was not on centre - enough to cause problems drilling. this was a complex fix which involved cutting it in 2 then rebuilding the entire tailstock with universal alignment adjustment. the saddle had tight spots in its travel (easily sorted out with a bit of scraping and de-burring and some shims on the keeper plates) also de-burring the entire machine. During the year ive had this tiny lathe ive installed thrust bearings to all axes and also the tailstock ram and machine balanced handwheels of a decent workable size to replace the horrible tiny wheels supplied. oiler buttons for all bearings and swarf guard bellows. several large toolposts that act as quick change - tools centred and the entire post locks down using lever-bolts. its now a superb little machine that is capable of working even semi-hard steels. its accuracy is very good. parts for the Unimat 3 are suitable tho u will have to fit them . faceplate, fixed steady, 4 jaw independent chuck, large live centre (made this using the lathe) and a little ER16 collet chuck (another lathe made part!) overall this is a splendid little cast iron machine with big capabilities - Axeminster Tools is a great, trustworthy company who get orders delivered without delay and are readily available to sort out any problems. Review: Good little Machine - Arrived quickly, Just the job for the modeller, robust bit of kit which is small and handy for my needs. Be aware you have to purchase tools and chuck (for centre drilling) separately. ## Features - Cast iron with ground, hardened slideways - Belt driven, with electronic variable speed - Fitted with 50mm self-centring 3-jaw scroll chuck - Chuck guard with a safety interlock - Size: 125mm between centres and a swing diameter of 110mm ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0791KS2M5 | | Best Sellers Rank | 51,390 in Business, Industry & Science ( See Top 100 in Business, Industry & Science ) 18 in Benchtop Lathes | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (8) | | Date First Available | 15 Jan. 2018 | | Item Weight | 16.5 kg | | Manufacturer | Axminster Model Engineer Series | | Manufacturer reference | C0 | | Part Number | C0 | ## Images ![C0 Micro Lathe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CkObL2tzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ micro lathe *by G***P on 22 February 2026* overall the lathe is set up in a WORKABLE CONDITION BUT IT DOES NEED WORK TO GET IT JST RIGHT. i knocked a star off as the spindle pulley wasnt tight and worked its way loose until the machine jammed and went into error mode during its run-in cycle. during a phone call to Axeminster Tools they offered suggestions and i spotted the problem and fixed it. the tailstock is not adjustable and was not on centre - enough to cause problems drilling. this was a complex fix which involved cutting it in 2 then rebuilding the entire tailstock with universal alignment adjustment. the saddle had tight spots in its travel (easily sorted out with a bit of scraping and de-burring and some shims on the keeper plates) also de-burring the entire machine.
