Designed as a high-class, precision machine (at an expensive £1048 in the late 1950s), the lathe was twice as costly as an English Willson lathe of equivalent size yet, even so, found a ready market, especially in America, where several thousand were sold. Some examples of the SAG 14 had a bed some 3/8" wider, much larger micrometer dials, a hand-operated bed and cross slide lubrication pump, top and cross slides in steel instead of cast iron, a micrometer-dial equipped carriage-traverse handwheel and other small modifications. The bed, headstock and massive stand were cast in one very rigid piece - this was a very heavy lathe intended for hard and accurate work. Graziano machine tools were made in Tortona, Italy and although a wide range of lathes was manufactured, the company's most popular appears to have been the SAG 180 - named for metric markets- and the SAG 14 for inch markets (the numbers being the swing in mm and inches respectively).
