A multi-tasking lathe is a machine which lets you turn and mill. Because it can do multiple things at once it's called a multi-tasking lathe. This machine is equipped with a milling spindle that allows drilling and milling operations to be performed on the same fixture as the turning operations.
The advantages of a multi-tasking lathe
With a multi-tasking lathe you can machine a product with just one fixture. So, a second-hand multi-tasking lathe is not only cheaper, you also make very effective use of your floor space. You also need less settings and less labor, which both result in a more efficient use of your time. And because the total processing time can be shortened considerably, this type of machine is very popular in series production.
Another nice advantage of a multi-tasking lathe is that the chance of failure is smaller. This is because errors while taking over from other machines won't happen: all turning and milling operations take place on one machine.
