Sold during the 1970s in Belgium, Germany Norway, and the Netherlands -  where European imports were handled by Huberts b.v. - by the early 1980s it is thought that a small batch of Huvema lathes was exported to the UK with sales handled by Keighley Machine Tools through an office in Leeds. Huvema made a wide range of machine tools and associated equipment for both the professional and amateur markets including multi-function woodworking machines, spindle moulders, planer-thicknessers, cement mixers, socket sets, electric motors, anvils, trolley and bottle jacks, mobile tool stations, drilling machines of the ordinary and articulated-arm type, bench milling and co-ordinated drilling machines, machine and drilling vices, mechanical hacksaws, horizonta, band-type metal-sawing machines with elevating arms that converted them into a vertcal bandsaw, standard bandsaws, bench grinders. pull-own cut-off saws, compressors, spraying equipment, arch welders, electrically-driven pumps, wood lathes (the Types HU80, HU-800N and HU-1000Nand belt and geared-headstock metal lathes of the types HU-450, HU-915, HU-1020, HU-560 and the HU-760 and HU-920. Of those, only details of the latter two are known, both of a modern, clean design with all-geared headstocks and fitted with a Norton-type two-tumbler screwcutting gearbox.
The smaller of the two, the  Type Hu-760, had a centre height of 5 inches (125 mm), a swing over the cross slide of 6 inches (152 mm) and a between-centres capacity of 30 inches (760 mm).
The V and flat-way bed was of considerable depth and 6.3 inches (160 mm) wide.
Fitted with a No.4 Morse taper - with a bush to step it down to 2 Morse - the spindle was bored through 1.1 inches (28 mm) and had 12 spindle speeds, from 58 to 1800 r.p.m., driven by a 1 h.p. , single-phase 220-volt motor fitted with a reversing switch.
Fitted as standard with a 4-way toolpost, the top slide had a travel of 3 inches (76 mm) and sat on a plain cross slide with a travel of 6 inches (152 mm).
The screwcutting gearbox was able to generate 25 metric pitches from 0.1 to 3.5 mm and 40 English (inch) from 8 to 224 t.p.i. The gearbox drove a 19 mm diameter, 3 mm pitch leadscrew that was slotted to provide the apron, via a key drive through worm-and-wheels gearing, with longitudinal power feeds from 0.080 to 2.25 mm (0.003 to 0.0885 inches) per revolution of the spindle and cross feeds from 0.005 to 0.129 mm ((0.00019 to 0.005 inches).
As with most Taiwanese-made lathes of the time, the standard equipment of the Huvema was generous when compared with European and American-made machines and included almost everything needed to put the lathe into effective - the mentioned 4-way toolpost, a 125 mm (5-inch) 3-jaw chuck, set of metric transposing changewheels, a fixed steady, a travelling steady, a thread-dial indicator, a spare chuck backplate, a spindle reduction sleeve, Morse centres, a chip tray, the necessary spanners and even a toolbox.

The larger, Huvema lathe of the pair, the Type Hu-920, had a centre height of 6 inches (153 mm), a swing over the cross slide of 7.4 inches (188 mm) and a between-centres capacity of 36 inches (920 mm).
The V and flat-way bed was of considerable depth and 7.2 inches (184 mm) wide.
Fitted with a No.5 Morse taper - with a bush to step it down to 3 Morse - the spindle was bored through 1.5 inches (38.5 mm) and had 12 spindle speeds, from 40 to 130 r.p.m., driven by a 1.5 h.p. , 3-phase 380-volt motor fitted with a reversing switch.
Fitted as standard with a 4-way toolpost, the top slide had a travel of 3.6 inches (92 mm) and sat on a plain cross slide with a travel of 6.4 inches (162 mm).
The screwcutting gearbox was able to generate 27 metric pitches from 0.2 to 7.5 mm and 40 English (inch) from 4 to 112 t.p.i. The gearbox drove a 22 mm diameter, 3 mm pitch leadscrew that was used only for screwcutting. Power feeds were provided by a separate keyed power shafts that drove apron-mounted worm-and-wheels gearing to give longitudinal power feeds from 0.042 to 1.188 mm (0.00165 to 0.0468 inches) per revolution of the spindle and cross feeds from 0.005 to 0.129 mm ((0.00019 to 0.005 inches).
As with most Taiwanese-made lathes of the time, the standard equipment was generous when compared with European and American-made machines and included almost everything needed to put the lathe into effective - the mentioned 4-way toolpost, a 125 mm (5-inch) 3-jaw chuck, set of metric transposing changewheels, a fixed steady, a travelling steady, a thread-dial indicator, a spare chuck backplate, a spindle reduction sleeve, Morse centres, a chip tray, the necessary spanners and even a toolbox.
