A turret lathe has six-usual tools arranged in the order of use on a rotating turret which is cycled by a large wheel or (Turnstile) like contrivance- in fact some lathe makers calle them Turnstile lathes. the British prefer the term Capstan lathes, the Capstan being that old extended bar device ( somewhat resembling a turnstile) used by seamen to manually raise the anchor- in old Pirate films, etc. The Capstan or Turnstile is oriented vertically, like a steering wheel. they usually have six stops on a hexagon turret. For this reason, a number of automobile makers had hexagonal trademarks such as Essex and Packard- a mark of homage to the machines used to make the parts!- the Turret Lathe.

What is the difference between a centre lathe and a capstan lathe?
They are essentially the same machine. Capstan is British usage, Turret, US. One old and still technically correct usage of Capstan was the (Turnstile winch) were Bars were extended and seamen walked round and round to weigh the anchor. Almost certainly this inspired the lathe term, as this is a maritime country (UK). The Wheel or circular component on a capstan lathe, however is usually three spoked and Vertical and drives the ram ( containing the usually hexagonal turret- 6 tools) back and forth into the work. They are or were very popular in the automotive sector for fabricating standard parts.
Which turret lathe has rods?
All turret lathes have rods. These rods are called feed rods and their purpose is to transfer mechanical power from the main drive and gearbox of the lathe to the apron attached to the saddle. This enables automatic movement of the saddle enabling unassisted cutting of a workpiece once the feed is engaged.
Give the type of lathe machine?
Lathe specifications· Distance between centers· Swing over the bed· Swing over the cross slide· Horse power of the motor· Number of speeds
What is Turret Lathe well known for?
There is no such person as Turret Lathe. A turret lathe is a metal lathe that is used in manufacturing to repetitively produce duplicate parts. This can make a production line run smoother.

What is distance between centers in lathe machine?
All lathes could be considered "centre lathes." You turn "between centers." There's also a tool called a "machining center," but those are for computerized milling, normally of metal.
