Toolroom Lathes Built for Immediate Results



"Babin Machine Sales continues to deliver on its reputation for providing fully qualified, high-precision toolroom lathes built for machinists who demand performance from day one," said a company spokesperson. "The company's flagship TML-5C series lathes-known as the 'Hardinge Clone'-are designed to match the legendary feel and reliability of the Hardinge HLV-H, while offering modern refinements and a high standard of quality."

Each machine is imported from Taiwan and then brought to its full mechanical potential at Babin's central Pennsylvania facility. Rather than simply assembling parts, every component is individually inspected, hand-fitted and adjusted to achieve optimal contact, feel and motion. Surfaces are scraped by hand to help ensure proper bearing and longevity, and precise alignments are made throughout-from the spindle to the tailstock and carriage.

"This approach eliminates the small issues that most builders miss, ensuring a 'best-fit' machine that delivers the trifecta of feel, precision and reliability," said the spokesperson. "This level of attention to detail is not just about attaining the machine's mechanical integrity-it is about delivering a tool that feels smooth, tight and 'right' from the first part cut. When customers take delivery of a Babin TML-5C lathe, they do not have to perform any set-up or cleaning. They simply power it up and start machining."

"Our customers from around the country range from national labs, aerospace companies and job shops to medical and defense contractors," said company President Paul Babin. "These are people who can tell the difference between a lathe that has been prepped like a bike shop tunes a race bike, and one that arrives dirty, untested or out of spec. We eliminate the guesswork."

Every lathe sold includes a detailed qualification report and can be equipped with options like Acu-Rite digital readout, rear chip guard or even Babin's Servo Threading system with touchscreen control for cutting standard and custom threads effortlessly.
