Electric Lathe
An electric powered machine that has a spinning blade to craft a variety of metal products.
Notes
The Electric Lathe is an advanced industrial crafting station that uses electric power to produce metal components such as Rubber Wheels and Steel Axles. It must be placed in a Tier 4 enclosed room with at least 45 m³ of free volume, and it accepts Industry and Modern Upgrade modules to reduce resource and labor costs. Stocking these modules in the station will speed up production of critical vehicle parts, helping your townโs logistics and transport sector.
