Conventional pipe threading
Manual pipe threading with a taper attachment, for oilfield thread cutting and repair.
Choosing A Lathe
Bed Type Follows The Part
Sixty models is a lot to read through. Send the part instead: the largest diameter, the length, the material and the tolerance, and we will name the two or three that fit and say why.
-
Flat bed for weight
A wide flat bed carries heavy, long work and damps the cut. It is the right choice for shafts, rolls and anything needing a steady rest, and it is easier to load with a crane.
-
Slant bed for chips and speed
Chips fall into the conveyor instead of piling on the ways, and the turret sits closer to the spindle centreline. Best for repeat production of medium parts.
-
Vertical for diameter
Once the part is heavier than it is long, gravity works with you rather than against you. Flanges, rings, wheels and gearbox cases belong on a table, not between centres.
-
Y-axis when it saves a setup
A power turret and a C-axis pay for themselves the moment the part would otherwise move to a machining centre for a keyway, a flat or a cross hole.

Conventional Pipe Threading Lathes Questions, Answered
What does a manual pipe threading lathe do that a CNC one does not?
It puts a skilled operator in direct control of one-off and repair threading — mixed, urgent work where writing a programme per pipe wastes the day. The taper attachment guides the oilfield taper mechanically, so the machine suits yards that thread dozens of joints a week rather than hundreds a day.
How does the taper attachment cut an oilfield taper?
It steers the tool on a mechanical slide set to the thread taper while the carriage feeds along the pipe, holding the taper angle constant without CNC interpolation. Set once for the standard being cut, it repeats joint after joint — the classic, serviceable way this job has been done for decades.
When should a yard step up from this machine to the CNC QK series?
When throughput, not capability, becomes the limit: the CNC machines win on repeat volume, twin-chuck handling of long tubulars and unattended consistency. For a repair bench handling mixed standards at low volume, the manual machine stays the cheaper and more flexible tool — that is why both live in this catalogue.
Does this machine work as a general lathe between thread jobs?
Yes. Between tubular jobs it turns, faces and threads like any engine lathe of its size, on the same cast bed and hardened ways as the rest of the conventional range. In a small yard it usually earns its floor space doing exactly that.
