Seam Glass Blowing Lathes

In the lathe swing it is 7" from the center of the bore to the plate and multiply by 2 and that's the swing.

The normal nomenclature to describe that would be 14 inch swing 12 inches swing over the carriage.

14x25.

Thanks Mahmood! That's pretty good clearance, a few more inches would be nice, but it's not a huge lathe...

I see lots of u lathes under 12 k


Seen one for 6 with lots of stuff a state away not long ago .

Thanks Doug
Glad to answer your questions and I hope you are satisfied, one more thing that I need to say is Seam lathes are designed in such a way that you can dissemble and resemble easily with the tools we supply with the lathe and our tech support is always available pacific time except Christmas time when Seam shuts down15th till Jan 10th . but tech support is available. Best competing lathe in the market, quality and price.

Seam

My Ulathe is pimp, but your still sacrificing alot of space and shit that make big lathes omfy and easy to work on. I bet this seam is a piece of junk in comparison, but if it works correctly, its probably more comfortable and easy to use than a U.

I've had 3 U's and they are incredibly well built and have more capacity than the 500 lb SEAM.

Maybe once I grab the seam, make some cash then I can afford the baller stats

Once you work on Seam lathe ,you will not want to look at another lathe

I plan on ordering one of these today! I will let the community know how the transaction and shipping go.

I'd love to know. I've had a few problems with an American Lathe I got. I'm getting it returned to me as it was just fixed and wanna know if I should step down to one of these if I ever need the capitol

I should have the machine in about 5 days... And will definitely let you know. Stay Tuned...

Ali -- do you have a website you advertise these on?

Yes I do have .

My profile on this forum has a lot of information that is educative.

website-: scientificequipmentandmachines.com

I have looked over the site Ali, I would suggest adding more tech specs and pricing on the site if it was up to me. That will allow your partons to get more information without having to call you and bug you as much. It would save you a lot of time trying to explain the simple things. ;) The lathe looks good though and from what I can see in the posts here, it will be one to think about getting for myself in the future.

Its a good idea, never thought about before as my Seam lathes were selling good referred by my satisfied customers, I do get a lot of calls its mostly tech support . I should have the tech information on the website.. thanks.

cc-: Gonzo719993 bought a Seam bench top lathe ,he received it last week and he is one satisfied dude

Ok... So she is on her way.....

I went with the 50 mm bench top...
I already have a woodland 8' bore, I needed one to do my small production work...
The transaction has been very smooth thus far...And Im looking forward to putting this lathe to work.
Thanks Ali
