WHAT IS A LATHE MACHINE TOOL?

The world of machining is vast and diverse, and among the most iconic machine tools, we find the lathe. But what exactly is a lathe machine tool? And how does CAZENEUVE, a major player in the field, stand out with its innovative products? Let’s dive into this captivating realm.

DEFINITION OF A LATHE MACHINE TOOL

A lathe machine tool is a machine used to machine parts by chip removal. It allows for operations such as turning, drilling, threading, and many others. The workpiece is typically fixed on a chuck and rotated, while a cutting tool is moved along the piece to remove excess material and shape the piece as desired.
