About this asset

Industrial metal lathe Revit family detailed with an enclosed gear headstock, graduated handwheels, and an adjustable tailstock for fabrication layouts. The assembly is built around a heavy-duty horizontal bed with precision guideways supporting a movable carriage, cross slide, and multi-position tool post. To the left, a tall enclosed headstock features exterior speed selection levers, control switches, and a three-jaw chuck spindle. The right end supports a robust tailstock assembly with a manual feedscrew handwheel and locking lever. Finished in neutral machine-tool grey enamel with polished steel and cast iron components, the piece accurately captures the form, clearance envelopes, and mechanical profiles of standard workshop fabrication lathes.

The download is a 901 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Designed as a freestanding specialty equipment family, the component places directly onto structural floor slabs or equipment pads within Revit. Modellers can easily rotate and position the unit relative to clear service zones, overhead hoists, and power feeds. Model lines and geometry retain crisp visibility in plan, section, and 3D views, enabling accurate collision detection and coordination with mechanical and electrical MEP connections.

Engineered for industrial facilities, maker spaces, vocational schools, and prototype manufacturing plants, this asset populates fabrication shops and maintenance bays during technical design stages. It coordinates seamlessly alongside milling machines, drill presses, workbenches, and tool storage units. Practitioners searching for workshop equipment, machining cell components, or technical education laboratory layouts will find this model ideal for establishing spatial clearances, maintenance envelopes, and realistic facility visualizations.
