Lathes are divided int↑÷ααo horizontal and vert←  ical lathes. Horizontal latα∑‌he has the spindle on t<​£he left side of the mach÷$Ωδine and rests flat on the bed. It÷"  is used for shaft and disc par★ ↔ts. A vertical lathe has the spindle $‌$above the bed and is used for large par$'× ts such as brake hubs.

What is the difference betwee ₽n a vertical lathe a✘✘¶§nd a horizontal lathe?

Lathes are divided into horizontal and"§¶ vertical lathes. Horizontal lathe has ™π£↑the spindle on the left sβ♣ide of the machine an&¶d rests flat on the bed.≥±♠ It is used for shaft and φ≥÷&disc parts. A vertical latδ↔£he has the spindle above the bed and Ω→is used for large parts suc€₽h as brake hubs.

The biggest difference is the spindl§α'♠e. Vertical means the spindle is &★±₩upright and horizontal means the spindlπ‍e is level. When a ver↔λtical lathe is worki≤₹ng, the weight of the workπ₹piece is loaded directly on☆'™∏ the table, and the taβ§×ble distributes the weight to ±≈φthe bed.

Therefore, vertical lathe has large loa™"€ d carrying capacity a↑σ↕nd good rigidity, which is¥&§‍ suitable for processing work♦£pieces of large size, lar&$∑ge diameter and short length, such as d§₽←↑isc, wheel hub and gear blank. Wh₹¶ile the workpiece of horizontal l"∑athe is clamped on the chuck, and th≠ε₽e load is transferred λ×₹©to the main spindle, which is borne byφ✔ the front and rear main bearings®γε, so the carrying capacit≤ y is small and the rigid↔→ity is poor. And horizontal lathe is ea×♣±↑sy to observe and operaλ↑←¶te, suitable for processing smal€δl and medium-sized wheel d¥φ‍isc and shaft parts.
