SM3002 Metal Work Lathe

The Sealey SM3002 is a precision-built metalworking lathe designed for small workshops, professional engineers and model makers. This compact bench-top lathe combines accurate machining capabilities with a space-efficient footprint, making it ideal for precision turning operations in environments where floor space is at a premium. Powered by a 300W motor, the SM3002 features variable speed control spanning 100-2500rpm, allowing operators to select the optimal cutting speed for different materials and workpiece diameters. The reversible drive enables powered cutting of both right and left-hand threads, whilst the 300mm distance between centres and 90mm centre height accommodate a wide range of turning projects. The spindle bore of 20mm and maximum workpiece diameter of 180mm provide versatility for typical small-scale engineering work. The lathe is supplied ready for operation with a self-centring 3-jaw chuck for secure workpiece holding, a 4-way tool post for quick tool changes, and practical accessories including a swarf tray and rear splash guard to maintain a clean working area. Safety features include an emergency stop button and chuck guard, meeting the requirements of professional workshop environments. At 40kg, the unit offers stability during operation whilst remaining manageable for bench mounting, and an optional dedicated stand (Model No. SM3002ST) is available for those requiring a standalone installation.
