Product overview

About this machine.

The Microweily TY series of manual lathes is New Zealands benchmark for quality lathes. They are produced by one of the original Taiwanese machine tool companies, with a history of over 50 years in manufacturing both CNC and high-speed precision conventional lathes. Microweily lathes are a proven choice for precision toolmaking, production, and general engineering applications. Manufactured in Taiwan, trusted worldwide.

The TY-1640S is one of our most popular sellers, suiting a large number of general turning applications. It has a small footprint but offers all the benefits of a heavy-duty solid casting, features typically associated with larger machines. This means you get a light, precision feel that is hard to achieve on bigger lathes, along with quality operation and an excellent finish.
