The GUNT Lathe Gear trainer simulates the core functions of a traditional workshop lathe, making it ideal for teaching gear operations and longitudinal feed mechanisms. Featuring exposed gears and hand-driven control, this unit provides a safe and visually accessible way to study lathe kinematics and gear engagement in real time.
Product Features
- Replicates the essential functions of a standard workshop lathe.
- Includes a shiftable main gear, feed gear (Norton gear), change gear, and tumbler gear.
- Hand crank with graduated dial provides safe, slow-speed manual drive.
- Tool slide performs only longitudinal motion for focused study of feed mechanics.
- Automatic longitudinal feed driven by a lead screw simulates real lathe operations.
- Recorder drum represents the workpiece; cutting tool replaced by a stylus for demonstration.
- Exposed gear components allow clear visibility of gear functions and interactions.
- Supports easily repeatable experiments with multiple gear and motion configurations.
Benefits
- Hands-on learning of lathe gear operations in a safe, controlled environment.
- Clear visibility of gear movements and mechanical functions enhances understanding.
- Manual operation encourages active participation and learning at a measured pace.
- Versatile setup offers a range of gear configurations for extended experimentation.
