Engine Lathes: FAQs
What is an engine lathe?
An engine lathe is a versatile tool designed to perform turns, boring, drilling, threading, and facing operations. By using specialized attachments like a cross slide, swing over bed, and quick change tools, you can adjust the spindle speeds and perform taper turning, knurling, grooving, and parting off.
What are engine lathes used for?
You can use an engine lathe to modify workpiece size, cut, or finish. These machines excel at threading and repairing damaged threads on shafts, screws, and other components. We often recommend engine lathes for repair and maintenance operations where you need to restore worn parts.
What industries use engine lathes?
The automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors rely heavily on engine lathes. These machines are particularly valuable when you need to create one-off parts or make unique cuts specific to your project.
Engine lathe vs. regular lathe vs. turret lathe
An engine lathe gets its name from early toolmaking, where powered machines were called "engines." Today's engine lathes use motors for power, unlike regular manual lathes, and excel at creating unique or one-off parts. Turret lathes feature an additional rotating turret that holds multiple tools, making them ideal for repeated production of identical parts.
