Import Fas Machine Tools — Buy in wholesale FOB from Supplier in South Africa

Fas Machine Tools produces the FAS Machine Tools CNC turning centre, a production lathe built with a cast iron and steel machine body. The machine is classified under HS code 8458 and is designed for high‑volume metal turning, offering fast cycle times and quick tool changeover to maximise throughput. Its construction targets automotive, aerospace and general engineering parts made from steel, aluminium and alloy workpieces. The supplier highlights affordability as a core attribute, positioning the lathes for both job‑shop and mass‑production environments. The description notes that the machines are engineered for reliable performance across a range of component sizes. This model is listed without a stated minimum order quantity, allowing importers to request single units or larger batches as needed.

In the wider CNC turning market, standard production lathes typically provide a spindle speed between 500 and 3000 RPM and a motor power rating of 7 to 15 kW, which aligns with the performance envelope of the FAS design. Typical turret capacity ranges from 12 to 20 stations, and positional accuracy is often quoted at ±0.01 mm for precision work. Most machines in this class employ a CNC controller based on FANUC or Siemens platforms, delivering multi‑axis coordination and programmable tool offsets. Cooling is usually supplied by a flood coolant system with a flow rate of 30‑50 L/min, helping to maintain thermal stability during long runs. These industry norms give buyers a benchmark when evaluating the FAS turning centre against other options.

The machines are suited to manufacturers of engine components, aircraft brackets and custom engineering parts that require repeatable precision. Importers targeting the South African market or seeking to re‑export to neighbouring regions can benefit from the supplier’s harbour‑tier verification, though the response rate is currently recorded as zero and response times are not available. Prospective buyers should confirm the exact lead time, incoterms and payment conditions directly with the supplier before placing an order. Technical documentation such as the machine’s user manual, parts list and any available test certificates should be requested to ensure compliance with destination regulations. With these steps completed, the FAS turning centre can be integrated into a production line seeking cost‑effective, high‑throughput machining capability.

Fas Machine Tools is located at Maxmead, Pinetown, Durban, 27, South Africa. The supplier is classified in the harbour trust tier, indicating a basic level of verification, and the platform records a response rate of 0.00 with no average response time available. The company’s public profile states that it manufactures production CNC lathes aimed at high‑volume metal turning, emphasizing fast cycle times and quick tool changeover as key design goals.

The supplier’s listing does not provide detailed financial data, employee numbers or client references, and no specific certifications are mentioned. It does note that the machines are intended for export under HS code 8458, and that they are positioned for both job‑shop and mass‑production environments. Potential buyers should therefore seek direct confirmation of any quality management system certificates or after‑sales service arrangements before finalising a purchase.
