A flat bed CNC lathe is arguably more prevalent in the machining sector and serves as an alternative machine configuration primarily designed for heavy turning applications. Essentially, it operates similarly to a slant CNC lathe but is distinguished by its flatbed design. This machine is particularly favored for processing short shafts, intricate geometries, discs, and various other workpieces. Additionally, it is capable of machining both internal and external threads in either metric or imperial measurements to meet specific needs. Various head attachments can be utilized with a flat CNC lathe, enabling it to create more complex shapes; for instance, a rotary head can be affixed to drill or mill the end face and circumference of the workpiece.
