What is Manual Turning?

Manual Turning is the process in which a cutting tool shapes a workpiece while it moves. It needs a constant operator to supervise the lathe. A Lathe is a machine used to form workpieces while being rotated.  There are three main Lathes: An Engine Lathe which can complete most machining jobs, the Turret Lathe and Special Purpose Lathes which are both used for mass production or specialist parts. Different turning processes produce different shapes and effects on materials.
