[Column] What is Lathe Machining? Explaining the Benefits of Turning and Its Five Types

Explaining the types of lathe machining, its advantages compared to other machining methods, and the features of the machines used!

Lathe machining is a process where the material set on a machining machine is rotated while a fixed tool is applied to cut the material, primarily used for finishing cylindrical shapes. Depending on the shape to be finished, it can be classified into external processing and internal diameter processing, among others. A significant advantage is that multiple processes can be combined, allowing for the creation of highly precise products even with complex shapes. Additionally, the types of machines used include ordinary lathes, vertical lathes, and facing lathes, and it is necessary to choose the appropriate one based on the size of the workpiece and the required machining precision. This article will explain the types of lathe machining, the advantages compared to other machining methods, and the characteristics of the machines used.
