1. 10" x 22" Metal Benchtop Lathe Sizing
Just like the "1224" profile, the suffix 1022 denotes a highly popular benchtop metal-turning lathe size boasting a 10-inch swing over the bed and a 22-inch distance between centers (popularized by machines like the King Canada KC-1022ML Metal Lathe or Precision Matthews PM-1022V
Tool Post Restrictions: Standard 1022 lathes are compact and usually accommodate tool shanks with a maximum thickness of 3/8-inch (10mm) or 1/2-inch (12mm).
Application: If you are outfitting a 1022 machine tool with indexable boring, threading, or parting kits, choosing a holder larger than 12mm will push your cutting edge past the workpiece centerline.
2. Carbon Steel Grade Designation (MIL-SPEC CS1022)
In material manufacturing and raw stock machining, CS1022 stands for Carbon Steel 1022 under US Military Specifications (MIL-SPEC MIL-S-11310 / UNS G10220).
Composition: Low-carbon steel containing approximately 0.18%–0.23% Carbon and 0.70%–1.00% Manganese.
Machinability: Excellent response to turning and drilling. When cutting raw CS1022 stock with indexable tools, operators typically opt for universal CVD-coated carbide grades (like P25 to P35) to handle continuous chip generation.
