Diameter and cutting height
Distinguish maximum swing from usable cutting diameter and height. Allow for the chuck, fixture, tools and safe loading.
SUFENG CNC南京速锋数控Vertical Lathes
Compare Sufeng vertical lathes for discs, flanges, hubs and large-diameter parts. Review swing, cutting diameter, height, weight, chuck and turret requirements.
How to select vertical lathes
Load and spindle duty
Check the combined workpiece and workholding load, balance, torque and speed against roughing and finishing requirements.
Additional operations
If drilling, milling or off-centre features are required, confirm live tooling, C-axis capability and the complete process for the selected model.
Prepare your workpiece review
Send your drawing with the material, blank dimensions and weight, tolerances, production volume and target cycle time. Our engineers will discuss fixtures, tools, inspection and installation with you.

Which parts are candidates for a vertical lathe?
Large-diameter, relatively short discs, rings, flanges and housings may benefit from horizontal workpiece loading. Confirm workholding and cutting access for the actual part.
Is maximum swing the same as maximum cutting diameter?
Usually not. Swing describes a space limit; tools, the turret, fixtures and machine structure also constrain the usable cutting diameter.
