What is lathes?
A lathe is a machine tool that rotates a workpiece about an axis of rotation to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation, facing, and turning, with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object with symmetry about that axis. Lathes are commonly used in metalworking, woodworking, and other manufacturing industries to shape materials into desired forms.
What other technologies are related to lathes?
lathes Competitor Technologies
mills
Mills perform material removal operations similar to lathes but with a rotating cutter and a stationary workpiece (generally), making them a competitor. Also is a general term.
milling machines
Milling machines are a specific type of mill, and like mills, are a competitor to lathes due to similar material removal capabilities using rotating cutters.
CNC mills
CNC mills, similar to milling machines, are a competitor to lathes as they perform automated material removal operations.
shapers
Shapers can perform similar material removal operations, although less efficiently than mills, and are therefore a competitor.
manual mills
Manual mills are another type of mill and competitor to lathes due to the ability to perform material removal operations.
boring mills
Boring mills can perform internal diameter machining, similar to lathes, but often on larger workpieces. Therefore they are competitors.
millers
Millers is another term for Milling machines, so they are a competitor to lathes due to the ability to perform material removal operations.
machining centres
No summary available
Machining centres are multi-purpose machines that can perform milling, drilling, and sometimes turning operations, making them a competitor.

lathes Complementary Technologies
grinders
Grinders are used for finishing operations and achieving tight tolerances, often after turning operations on a lathe, making them complementary.
drill presses
Drill presses can be used to create holes in parts made using a lathe, so it is a complementary technology.
surface grinders
Surface grinders are used for finishing operations to obtain very flat surfaces, often after machining on a lathe, which means that it is complementary.
