The parallel lathe can easily be considered the mother of all machine tools used in the metalworking industry and beyond. The parallel lathe allows you to perform many jobs thanks... to the different tools that can be set up on the turret in a very simple way. The parallel lathe is particularly suitable for machining cylindrical and conical surfaces in order to exploit the most of its main feature, namely the revolution motion that acquires the workpiece clamped on the spindle. It is not a particularly suitable machine for mass production as the manual operations for equipping the machine and clamping the workpiece require a great deal of time and work force to be invested. The latest generation of modern parallel lathes are also increasingly equipped with numerical controls, transforming these lathes into real self-learning lathes. Parallel lathes are widely used in the machining of large and heavy workpieces. The workpiece can be clamped to the chuck or, and this is the case with large heavy workpieces, it is clamped between the centers and the weight is redistributed between the chuck and the tailstock with the possible support of supporting means called "steady rests".
