1 Your budget

The first thing you need to consider is how much you can afford to spend on a metalworking lathe. Metalworking lathes vary widely in price, depending on the size, features, quality, and brand of the machine. You should have a clear idea of how much you are willing to spend and what kind of return you expect from your investment. You should also factor in the costs of maintenance, repairs, accessories, and power consumption of the machine.

A primeira coisa a se pensar ao cogitar a compra de um torno mecanico, é se há demanda de trabalho para ele se manter. A quantidade de trabalho para aquela máquina, fará que ela seja um gerador de ativos, e que todos os seus custos adjacentes, como ferramental, energia, operador, etc, sejam contornáveis.

Perform an economical calculation. Return vs investment and make sure the performance of the equipment can achieve the specification of the works.

2 Your space

The second thing you need to consider is how much space you have available for your metalworking lathe. Metalworking lathes come in different sizes and shapes, and they require adequate room for installation, operation, and storage. You should measure the dimensions of your workshop and the potential location of your metalworking lathe. You should also consider the accessibility, ventilation, lighting, and safety of the space.

Space is important, but should not restrict the development of your business. If necessary, find more suitable premises to allow your business to grow.

3 Your projects

The third thing you need to consider is what kind of projects you plan to use your metalworking lathe for. Metalworking lathes can perform various operations, such as turning, drilling, boring, threading, and milling, but some machines are more suitable for certain tasks than others. You should think about the type, size, shape, material, and complexity of the workpieces you want to produce with your metalworking lathe. You should also consider the volume, frequency, and quality of your production.

Always employ people with the right skills and with potential for self development. There are people who can do the job, as prescribed, and people, who can identify better ways of doing it.

Again, investment vs revenue. If the quality and productivity demands require a new machine. Buy a new one. Also consider future growth.

6 Your inspection

The sixth thing you need to consider is how to inspect the metalworking lathe before you buy it. You should never buy a machine without seeing it in person and testing it for its functionality, performance, and condition. You should check the machine for any signs of damage, wear, rust, or defects. You should also check the machine for its accuracy, speed, power, and noise. You should ask the seller for any documentation, warranty, or guarantee for the machine.
