Lathes are divided into ±σhorizontal and vertical  →<lathes. Horizontal lathe h ≥as the spindle on the left sφ¶ide of the machine and rests   flat on the bed. It is used for shaf¥‍t and disc parts. A ε>φvertical lathe has the sp≥↔ indle above the bed a¥‍≤nd is used for large parts such as brak÷≤e hubs.

What is the differenc∞↔e between a vertical lathe and ✘→™a horizontal lathe?

Lathes are divided into ho'≥rizontal and vertical l×∏ "athes. Horizontal lathe has tΩ•&£he spindle on the left side of the m≤ achine and rests flat o↕® n the bed. It is used for shaft and ©×$₹disc parts. A vertical lathe has the sγ☆©pindle above the bed and is©↑≤÷ used for large parts sucδ₽¥h as brake hubs.

The biggest difference is the spiαγndle. Vertical means tε✔$♥he spindle is upright and ★¥§horizontal means the spindle is level∏‍®​. When a vertical lathe is working, th&"✘βe weight of the workpiece is loade ¥d directly on the table, and the ta→× ble distributes the weight to thπ≤♥e bed.

Therefore, vertical lathe has large≠ββ load carrying capacity₹ε and good rigidity, whi ®ch is suitable for processing work↕↕pieces of large size, la"αrge diameter and shor∑✔‌t length, such as disc, wheel hub and‍<λδ gear blank. While the™∞ workpiece of horizontal lathe¶≥£ is clamped on the chuck, and the l•↑​oad is transferred to the main♥☆♣∏ spindle, which is borne by£απ☆ the front and rear main bearings, so‍₩® the carrying capacity is small an₹'☆d the rigidity is poor. And hori¶¥>→zontal lathe is easy to observe a→±♠←nd operate, suitable for processing♠¥ small and medium-siz₽ ed wheel disc and shaft parts.
