Used Lathes For Sale

How Do Lathes Work?

The key components of these CNC machines include: a headstock, spindle, chuck, tool post, tailstock, hand wheel, bed, lead screw, chip pan, carriage, and feed rod. The headstock anchors the gear train, chuck, speed control levers, feed controllers, and the main spindle. During operation, the lathe rotates the workpiece in the spindle while a stationary cutting tool precisely shapes the material.
