    Bridging the Gap Between Classrooms and Careers
    In today’s fast-evolving manufacturing landscape, hands-on learning has become essential for preparing students for careers in machining, engineering, and industrial technology. That’s why educational institutions across the country are investing in high-quality machine tools that mimic real-world equipment. Lagun Engineering is proud to support this mission—offering durable, user-friendly machines that help schools train the next generation of skilled machinists.

    Reliable Lathes Built for Student Use
    Lagun’s American Turnmaster lathes are a popular choice for educational facilities, built to withstand daily use by students while delivering precision performance. Designed with a 3 V-way bed for added carriage stability, these manual lathes provide a smooth, accurate cut—ideal for teaching fundamentals. Key safety features like full-length foot brakes, chuck guards, and compound guards make them especially suited for school environments. With multiple sizes available, from the 1340 to the 1660, instructors can tailor equipment to their classroom needs while giving students exposure to machines they’ll likely see in real-world shops.

    Lagun’s FTV vertical mills—like the FTV-2F and FTV-2FE—are engineered for precision and longevity. These mills offer simple controls, integrated safety features like spindle guards and enclosed cables, and optional CNC upgrades. Schools can start students on manual machines, then advance to versions with digital readouts or full CNC controls. This flexibility allows institutions to create a learning path that progresses with the student’s skill level while using consistent equipment.
