Bar pullers are used in CNC lathes to automatically draw in bars from the clamping chuck. In this case they serve as a substitute for a bar feeder on an NC/CNC lathe. The clamping chuck is fitted directly into the turret of the lathe or into the bar holder. There are two different versions, depending on the design: Start on the X-axis (starting ...
A center finder is a tool used to align the machining center to a precision location on a work piece. Often these locations might be marked using a layout method (coating the surface with layout stain and scribing a precise location with the intersection of the two lines identifying the position to be machined, etc.
Brown & Sharpe Single Spindle screw machine. Model #2 Square Base, four-slide machine. 1 1 ⁄ 2 cap or 1 3 ⁄ 4 Air Feed.. Screw machines, being the class of automatic lathes for small- to medium-sized parts, are used in the high-volume manufacture of a vast variety of turned components.
A radius grinder (or radius tool grinder) is a special grinder used for grinding the most complex tool forms, and is the historical predecessor to the CNC tool and cutter grinder. Like the CNC grinder, it may be used for other tasks where grinding spherical surfaces is necessary. The tool itself consists of three parts: The grinder head, work ...

A forming press, commonly shortened to press, is a machine tool that changes the shape of a work-piece by the application of pressure. [1] The operator of a forming press is known as a press-tool setter, often shortened to tool-setter. Presses can be classified according to their mechanism: hydraulic, mechanical, pneumatic;
The punch press is characterized by parameters such as: Frame type; Mechanism of delivering power to the ram (mechanical, electro-mechanical or hydraulic) Size of working area (e.g., 2500 x 1250 mm) Single or multiple station; Force rating (for example, 20 tons) The type of tool shop and its capacity (e.g., store revolving type, capacity 34 tool)
The CNC machines use x, y, and z coordinates in order to control the turning tools and produce the product. Most modern day CNC lathes are able to produce most turned objects in 3D. Nearly all types of metal can be turned, although more time & specialist cutting tools are needed for harder workpieces.
