MT Series
A classic quality machine
The lathe that should not be missing in any workshop
The COMEV MT combines the tradition of Italian machine tool construction with a durable design that has been consistently developed for daily use.
Whether used regularly in production or only for special repair and modification work: The machine is always ready for use and is particularly suitable for maintenance, tool making, training, as well as single-part and small series production.
High-quality mechanical components, a stable cast construction, and direct operation via handwheels and control levers make the MT series a reliable and well-controllable workshop machine.
Robust and clearly structured mechanics
For repair, training, and manufacturing
Long service life and easy maintenance
Direct processing without CNC programming
Conventional. Precise. Reliable.
Full control over the machining process and operation familiar to experienced turners.
Construction and technology
Designed for durability and precise operation
The MT series relies on proven mechanical assemblies, high-quality materials, and a robust construction.
Thermally stable spindle construction
The hardened and precision-ground main spindle runs in high-precision tapered roller bearings. Depending on the model, the spindle bore is 52 or 62 mm.
Wide range of feeds and threads
The enclosed, oil-bath-lubricated Norton gearbox provides numerous longitudinal and cross feeds as well as metric, Whitworth, module and diametral-pitch threads.
Stable yet sensitive to operate
The generously dimensioned carriage offers high rigidity during machining while remaining precise and sensitive to operate during manual infeed movements.
Solid foundation for precise machining
The wide machine bed and carefully matched guideways provide the foundation for high stability, dimensional accuracy and a long service life.
Robust and adjustable support
The one-piece tailstock features an adjustable base and a hardened and ground quill with Morse taper socket.
Machine details
Thoughtful operation down to the detail
The clear structure simplifies setting up, operating, and maintaining the machine.
Generous working area
Good access to the workpiece, toolholder and steady rests makes setup and machining easier.
Precise slide package
Mechanical handwheels and clearly arranged controls enable direct and controlled infeed movements.
Stiff tailstock
The robust tailstock provides reliable support for machining between centres and drilling operations.
