What is a Metal Centre Lathe?

A metal centre lathe is a tool used by various industries to position a workpiece on an axis to pinpoint precision. Typically these tools have been ground to a point and made to have an angle of 60°, though in some instances (particularly in heavy machining) that angle is increased to 75°.

You might need to use a centre lathe machine if you need to support a longer workpiece when the cutting force would deflect your work and negatively affect the accuracy of your workpiece.

When purchasing your own centre lathe, you should consider the wide selection of accessories typically used alongside the machine. These might include cutter grinders, cylindrical grinders, or dividing heads. You can find all this kind of equipment right here on our website, and if you ever need any assistance choosing the right accessories for your lathe, we also have a team of experts at hand to help you make the most informed purchasing decision.
