Conventional flat bed lathes have been a fundamental part of machining and metalworking for generations. Known for their simple design, ease of use, and versatility, these machines continue to play an important role in modern workshops and production environments.

Conventional flat bed lathes are operated manually, making them ideal for small-batch production, general machining, and maintenance work. They are widely used for producing cylindrical, conical, and flat surfaces with high precision.

Their functions include:

• Facing: Creating a smooth, flat surface on the end of a workpiece, providing a clean base for subsequent machining operations.
• Turning: Shaping the external surface of a workpiece, including operations such as cutting threads, forming tapers, or producing complex contours.
• Boring: Enlarging or refining existing holes or internal cavities with precision.
• Drilling: Creating precise holes in the workpiece, often serving as a starting point for further machining.
• Tapering: Gradually changing the diameter of a workpiece along its length to produce tapered sections.
