Saddle Type Turret Lathes

Saddle Type Turret Lathes - Saddle type turret lathe is a heavy duty machine, there is no ram, rather the turret head is mounted directly on the saddle and the saddle slides on the ways of the machine.

This makes a more rigid turret, avoiding the overhang which occurs when a ram type turret is advanced to the work and the possible sagging out of line. Power feed is standard on turret and both axes of the cross slide. Speed may be from 20 to 1500 RPM depending upon the size of the machine.
