What Is the Difference Between CNC Lathe and Conventional Lathe

Conventional industrial lathes are versatile machines capable of processing a variety of objects. These industrial metalworking lathe machines, with adjustable spindle speeds and feeds, allow for the machining of inner and outer surfaces, end faces, and inner and outer threads of workpieces. Primarily operated manually, conventional metal working lathes for sale have lower production efficiency and are for single-piece, small-batch production and repair workshops.    


CNC industrial lathes automatically complete multi-process processing of small and medium-sized workpieces according to a certain procedure. These precision metalworking lathe machines for sale can automatically load and unload materials and repeatedly process a batch of the same workpieces. CNC metal turning lathe machines are suitable for large-scale and mass production, as they minimize manual intervention and reduce production times.

Why Is the Lathe Called the Mother of All Machines

Our precision metalworking lathe machines for sale are widely used in all fields of mechanical processing. These metal turning lathe machines are especially crucial in mold processing, with CNC lathes leading the way. These industrial metalworking lathes are the most widely used CNC machine tools in China, accounting for about 25% of the total CNC machine tools.


CNC machine tools are mechatronics products that integrate mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, microelectronics and information technologies. With advantages such as high precision, efficiency, automation, and flexibility,  these mechanical lathe machines earn the title of the "mother of all machines" in mechanical manufacturing.


Partnering with reputable lathe tooling suppliers and manufacturers ensures you have access to the best tools and accessories for your mechanical lathe machines. It's important to consider lathe costs when investing in metal turning lathe machines to ensure optimal value for your production needs.
