Kharad Machine (Conventional Lathe)
Demonstration engine lathes, what most Indian workshops simply call a kharad machine, released at special prices. Inspected, re-adjusted and test cut before they leave. An engine lathe of this size is the machine most job shops start with, and the one they keep after the first CNC arrives.
Choose your kharad machine
Buy new to your own specification, or take a showroom machine that has already been run in and inspected. Buyers who know this lathe as a kharad machine mean the same thing: a metal lathe built for daily workshop work, not a hobby unit. A buyer weighing this against a used lathe machine elsewhere gets a machine reset to specification, not one that has only been cleaned.
Brand New Lathe
A new lathe built to the swing, bed length and spindle bore you order. We confirm the model, the price and the lead time, and send the full specification of the lathe machine before you pay. Every new build is a turning lathe machine with induction hardened ways, so the first heavy cut does not mark the bed.
95% New Showroom Machines
Demonstration units released at special prices. Inspected, re-adjusted and test cut before they leave.
What we check before a kharad machine ships
Inspection
Bed wear, spindle runout, guideway straightness and gearbox noise are all measured and recorded.
Re-adjustment
Gibs, backlash and belt tension are reset to specification before the machine is offered.
Test cut
A test cut is taken and the result is photographed, so you can see the finish before you buy.
Delivery and support
Crating, loading and shipping documents are handled for you, with spares from stock, so a lathe workshop is not waiting on a part.
Kharad machine questions from Indian workshops
Straight answers to what buyers ask before they place an order.
What is a kharad machine?
Kharad is the name Indian workshops use for a conventional engine lathe: hand wheels, a geared headstock, a lead screw and a tailstock. It turns, faces, bores and cuts threads, which is the same work a lathe sold under any other name does.
Is a kharad lathe price in India higher for a gap bed?
Yes, the gap bed adds a removable section in front of the faceplate, so larger flange and disc work swings clear. The extra cost is in the casting and the machining of the gap faces.
Do you ship to workshops outside the main ports?
We ship to Indian ports and the machine can be forwarded inland from there. Buyers comparing a Rajkot lathe machine with an imported build usually ask about bed weight and spindle bore first, and we answer both from the drawing rather than from a brochure.
What is checked before a kharad machine ships?
Bed wear, spindle runout, guideway straightness and gearbox noise are measured and recorded, then gibs, backlash and belt tension are reset to specification and a test cut is taken.
