CNC and Manual Turning Equipment are largely utilized for shaping metal by removing unwanted material. This occurs during a machining process where the cutting tool, controlled by a computer or an operator, spins the workpiece on its axis against the tool. It's leveraged to perform various operations including straight and taper turning, facing, grooving, knurling, and more, producing symmetrically round or conical items such as detailed patterns, screws, rods, and more.
The cost of new and used CNC & Manual Turning Equipment varies significantly depending on the type, condition, features, brand, and model of the machine you're considering. Purchasing previously owned machines can offer budget-tailored options while still ensuring performance for businesses. However, investing in brand new equipment often comes with the advantage of the latest technology and enhancements, thus, can cost considerably more than used equipment. We cater to a broad range of budget needs providing diverse pricing so you can find the equipment that best aligns with your financial capabilities.
The history of CNC & Manual Turning equipment traces back to ancient times with the advent of the lathe, one of the oldest and most important machine tools. Over centuries, the concepts and mechanics behind the lathe have been refined leading to the modern CNC and manual turning equipment. In the mid-20th century, with the introduction of computers and numerical control (NC), lathes evolved into CNC (computer numerical control) turning centers bringing about more precise, efficient, and versatile machining capabilities.
