Seen in the image is a concrete bed lathe used by the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Madras. The lathe has a prestressed reinforced concrete bed and plain reinforced concrete pedestals. The lathe’s gear box uses an extended Ruppert type gear drive that provides nine speeds from 160 to 1000 rpm. The swing over bed is 250 mm and the centre to centre distance is 800 mm. By means of a rack, a manual feed is possible.
