34567

Overview

Turret lathes are machine tools used primarily for repetitive production of duplicate parts. They are equipped with a turret, a rotating tool holder that allows for multiple cutting operations to be performed without the need for multiple setups. This makes them highly efficient for mass production in manufacturing environments.
