Simple handling of operating equipment (eccentric lever operation)
Stable, thick-walled underframe in ergonomic, vibration-reducing inclined design
High-quality paint
High-quality surface protection of steel parts by high-quality browning
Adaption to existing turning lathes
Competent advice and quick service
Spare part guarantee and use of standard DIN parts

Precision of the spindle alignment (also when swinging back the headstock)
Precision of the lathe bed (tailstock is loose)
Adapter solutions – no direct thread M33DIN800 – therefore loss of stability and accuracy
Cheap motors, no continuous operation
Torque very low from the beginning – the machine can be stopped easily
Handling when turning headstock
Handling hand rest – corners and pinches with chips
Hand rest: high installation loss and low holding force of the hand rest clamps (for e.g. the use of broad hand rests or duplicators)
Short centre sleeve travel and often slight incline – drilling will take a long time
Special bearing in the headstock (no standard bearing)
Replacement parts from the Far East – long lead times
No extension opportunities
No special solutions
