Large Head Lathe
Large Head Lathe
Large Head Lathe, formally known as a "Floor Type Lathe" is a highly versatile machine tool engineered to handle workpieces of widely varying diameters. Its defining feature is a removable section ("the gap") in the bed, directly in front of the headstock. By unbolting and sliding out this section, the lathe's swing capacity is dramatically increased, often by several inches. This allows a single machine to perform facing, boring, and turning on exceptionally large-diameter components like flywheels, large gears, or rotors that would be impossible on a standard lathe of...

Large Head Lathe, formally known as a "Floor Type Lathe" is a highly versatile machine tool engineered to handle workpieces of widely varying diameters. Its defining feature is a removable section ("the gap") in the bed, directly in front of the headstock. By unbolting and sliding out this section, the lathe's swing capacity is dramatically increased, often by several inches. This allows a single machine to perform facing, boring, and turning on exceptionally large-diameter components like flywheels, large gears, or rotors that would be impossible on a standard lathe of the same size. Once the oversized machining is complete, the gap piece is reinserted and securely locked back into place. This restores the full structural rigidity and alignment of the lathe bed, ensuring it can return to high-precision work on smaller, standard-sized parts without any loss of accuracy. This unique dual-capability makes the Big Head Lathe an invaluable and cost-effective asset for job shops, repair facilities, and any manufacturing environment where workpiece size is not constant, eliminating the need for multiple, more specialized machines.
