GRANITE COMBO Lathe⋅Mill⋅Drill - Product Uses

MANUFACTURING: Hundreds of Granite owners have built a business around their combo machine. Hundreds of established manufacturing operations use Granite machines in parts production or as a backup to their big machines. Either way, owning a Granite 3-in-1 will make you money.

EDUCATION: The big advantage of Granite machines is that many machines can be set up in a small space - and within a limited budget.  More students are able to have individual time on their own machines.  With the Granite you will minimize shop space - while maximizing ergonomic efficiency and safety for unexperienced operators.

MAINTENANCE: It’s hard to list all the uses for a Granite machine in a maintenance shop. Thousands of Granite owners save big bucks fixing parts when the need arises. Versatile and easy to tuck into a corner, the Granite machine will fix or produce any part you can figure out how to make.

R & D and PROTOTYPING: No need to pull work away from a production machine to make a one off part when you have a Granite combo machine in the shop. You wouldn’t believe the number of University level engineering schools that have a Granite machine in their research lab. Accurate and compact.

RESTORATION: We often get pictures from happy machinists who were able to restore their dream machine with help from a Granite machine. You name the machine, a Granite machine has been used in many types of restoration projects – cars, hot rods, motorcycles, trucks, snowmobiles, boats, airplanes… the list goes on and on.

MODELS/SMALL ENGINE: Making small parts works especially well on the Granite machine. Granite owners use their machine to make and repair parts for live steam engines, R/C model cars, boats, planes, and helicopters(crashing can be expensive if you have to buy parts – make ‘em yourself).

RACING: Accurate enough to use in the main shop – compact enough to fit in the race trailer. Granite machines have found happy homes in a variety of racing venues – NASCAR, IndyCar, SCCA, NHRA… and every local type of racing you can imagine – cars, karts, boats, motorcycles, snowmobiles, lawnmowers, etc., etc.

GUNSMITHING: Used by hundreds of professional gunsmiths across North America. The Granite is the ideal machine for machinists that work in a small space, but still need accuracy, and the versatility to make a wide variety of part types. The Granite is the perfect fit for the gunsmith shop.
