FAQs
 

What is a CNC lathe machine?

A CNC (Computer Numerical Control) lathe is an automated machine tool that uses computer programming to control the movement of cutting tools and the rotation of the workpiece. It allows for precise, repeatable machining operations with minimal human intervention, enabling complex shapes and patterns to be produced efficiently and accurately.
 

What is the difference between a lathe and a horizontal CNC milling machine?

A CNC lathe machine rotates the workpiece against stationary cutting tools to create cylindrical shapes, whereas a horizontal CNC milling machine uses rotating cutting tools on a stationary workpiece to remove material. Lathes are primarily used for turning operations on round parts, while horizontal milling machines are better suited for creating flat surfaces, slots, and complex contours on various shapes of workpieces.
 

What are the benefits of a horizontal CNC lathe?

When compared to a manual lathe, a CNC lathe machine adds automation to machining operations that minimises the need for human intervention. The automated horizontal lathe allows for increased productivity and efficiency with end products that are to a high degree of precision.
