This system is intended for round specimen machining in metallic materials and alloys typically used for standardized tensile testing, provided the stock is within the machine’s supported hardness range up to 55 HRC.

In practical terms, it is a metal-focused specimen preparation lathe for ferrous and non-ferrous materials that can be turned into consistent gauge sections and transitions without tearing, chatter, or excessive work hardening.

Material suitability is driven by your machining method and finish requirements, including:

• Material hardness and heat-treat condition
• Cutting tool type and edge geometry
• Coolant use and heat control during finishing passes
• Starting stock condition such as scale, oxide, or surface defects
