Precision Traverse Kit for Swissstyle Lathes A precision traverse kit that converts coarse slide movement into repeatable, fineposition control. Designed for compact precision lathes and small tooling stations, this kit gives manual operators greater accuracy and repeatability without changing machine tooling. Key benefits Improved control: Fine adjustment lets you make small, precise cuts and position parts with confidence. Faster setup: Positive locking and clear reference marks reduce time spent rechecking and rezeroing. Durable construction: Precision machined metal components maintain alignment and resist wear for consistent performance over time. Easy installation: Designed for retrofit on many Swissstyle lathes and similar small turning machines without major modifications. Versatile operation: Suitable for both repeatable production tasks and oneoff precision setups. What it does Converts standard slide travel into smooth, micrometerlike traverse for resolution manual positioning. Provides secure locking and repeatable indexing for serial work and incremental adjustments. Preserves machine rigidity while allowing fine incremental movement for delicate cutting and finishing operations. Compatibility and sizing Intended for Swissstyle lathes and comparable small precision turning equipment. Compact footprint fits in tight carriage spaces typical of microturning setups. Check existing carriage and leadscrew interface to confirm fit before installation. Typical materials and performance Precision machined metal parts engineered for stiffness and accurate alignment. Smooth engagement and backlashminimizing design to support consistent surface finishes and tight tolerances. Built to support repeated use in environments where precision and stability matter. Use scenarios Microturning small components such as pins, fittings, and watch parts where fine depth control and repeatability are required. Prototyping and shortrun production of precision parts that require frequent, accurate repositioning between cuts. Finishing operations where minimal material removal and consistent traverse increments produce surface quality. What to expect A straightforward retrofit that improves manual traverse resolution and repeatability. Measurable reduction in repositioning time and fewer adjustments during fine cutting and finishing. Reliable performance for precision workshop and production tasks. Note Verify mechanical compatibility with your machine model and carriage dimensions prior to to ensure correct fit and function.
