Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Proficenter 700 a lathe, a milling machine, or both?
Both in the same machine. The Proficenter 700 Top integrates: a lathe with a gap bed (distance between centers 700 mm, Ø bed 280 mm) and a vertical milling head mounted on the column. Switching between the two modes is done by moving the head — no need to disassemble and reassemble anything. Suitable for advanced hobbyists, educational workshops, and maintenance departments where space limits the purchase of two separate machines.
Does the integrated milling machine have the same performance as a dedicated milling machine?
No — combination lathe/milling machines inherently have limitations compared to dedicated machines: shorter axis travel, lower rigidity under high lateral loads, and time-consuming mode changes. The Proficenter is the correct choice for occasional milling operations on small workpieces, not for series production with heavy milling.
Are spare parts and accessories available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 business days shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
How much power does the Proficenter 700 Top require?
Single-phase 230 V power supply — direct connection to a 16A Schuko socket. No three-phase system needed. Suitable for private workshops, garages, and laboratories without industrial power.
