Introduction

The YS 9x23 Benchtop Metal Lathe is built for workshops that need threading versatility and finishing precision in a compact machine. The combination of 8 metric and 8 imperial thread options, 0-3000 RPM speed range, and automatic feed makes it a capable daily driver for small-shop production, lab use, and prototyping.

The included digital tachometer helps operators dial in repeatable speeds between jobs, and the 4-way tool post keeps workflows efficient with faster tool changes.

Key Selling Points

8 metric + 8 imperial threading options - ideal for mixed-standard work, prototyping, and replacement parts across different spec systems

0-3000 RPM spindle speed range enables precise finishing on small-diameter work while staying controllable for heavier passes

Automatic feed for consistent surface finish and reduced operator fatigue on repeat passes

Digital tachometer for accurate speed reading and repeatable job setup

4-way tool post enables faster tool changes and more efficient turning workflows vs basic single-post designs
