Welcome to Lathes Source

Lathes have a wide variety of uses and are an invaluable tool, whether they are being used as part of a bigger machining process in large industrial premises, to make bespoke parts in a small workshop or in the crafting of individual objects by hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts.

The lathe is one of the oldest tools around and is typically used to craft conical or cylindrical objects such as wheels, bores and shafts. It works by spinning the raw material, which can then be shaped and crafted using tools that attach to the workpiece – hence it is sometimes referred to as a turning lathe.

You can choose from two basic types of lathe: horizontal, which can handle high volume and complex work and are the most commonly used in manufacturing and machine shops; and vertical, which are considered the most suitable for large diameter work.
