Applications of CNC lathes
The material being worked by a CNC lathe machine is slowly sheared away. The result is a precisely finished product or an intricate part. Because these machines are so versatile, many industries use them, including automotive, electronics, aerospace, firearm manufacturing, sporting, and others.
A CNC lathe can produce plane surfaces and screw threads or, in the case of ornate lathes, three-dimensional products that are quite complex. They can be used on both small and large parts with extreme accuracy. The workpiece is typically held firmly in place by one or two centers, but the material can also be secured with collets or clamps.
Some examples of items a CNC lathe machine can make include baseball bats, camshafts, bowls, crankshafts, cue sticks, sign boards, musical instruments, and table and chair legs.
