FAQs

What is the life expectancy of a CNC lathe?

The typical life expectancy of a CNC lathe is around 15-20 years with proper maintenance and regular servicing though many machines can operate effectively for longer periods depending on the usage intensity and care. Other factors that may affect horizontal lathe lifespan include operating conditions, maintenance quality and workload.

How often should a lathe be serviced?

We recommend you monitor your lathes regularly to ensure any problems are detected as early as possible. You should also organise for a complete maintenance check every six months to identify any hidden problems so they can be resolved before they become a greater issue. At DTS, we offer machine tool maintenance services to keep your machines running as efficiently as the day you got them. From repairs to servicing, control retrofitting and more, take a look at the full range of services we offer today!

What is the difference between a CNC lathe and a manual lathe?

A CNC (Computer Numerical Control) lathe is automated through computer programming, allowing it to perform precise, complex operations repeatedly with minimal operator intervention, while a manual lathe requires a skilled operator to control all movements and cutting operations by hand. The main advantage of CNC lathes is their consistency, speed, and ability to produce complex parts precisely, while manual lathes offer more direct control and are often better for one-off pieces or quick adjustments.
