Abstract
Portable lathes, portable lathe assembly kits, and associated methods. A portable lathe comprises two frame members, a plurality of guide bars, a tool assembly supported by the guide bars, and a feed assembly for translating the tool assembly along the guide bars. The feed assembly includes a first fixed linear feed element, a second fixed linear feed element, a driving rotary feed element, and a driven rotary feed element, and is configured such that rotating the driving rotary feed element translates the tool assembly along the guide bars. A portable lathe assembly kit comprises components of the portable lathe configured to be assembled together to install the portable lathe on a cylindrical workpiece. In some examples, a method of utilizing the portable lathe assembly kit comprises operatively receiving the cylindrical workpiece within the frame members by securing the cylindrical workpiece to a first lathe clamshell subassembly and operatively coupling a second lathe clamshell subassembly to the first lathe clamshell subassembly.
