GT Machine has 10 CNC Lathe turning centers, including 6 automatic bar feeders with up to 4 inch diameter through the spindle. Our automatic machines allow GT to competitively bid on a wide variety of turned parts. A lathe will rotate material cylindrically while the tools are stationary. A stationary tool against a rotating part will create a round surface. Lathes are used to create round parts with different diameters. Live tooling on a lathe allows the part to stop with a break and the cutting tool rotates just like a milling machine and is able to machine milled features such as flats or holes thru the diameter. By combining operations, GT can competitively bid on parts limiting the handling needed to produce.

GT’s chucking capacity is up to 15 inches in diameter. We can competitively price and machine all parts from .375″ diameter up to 15 inches in diameter. All Lathe parts are programmed using a CAD/CAM software (Mastercam) and are inspected to meet all customer requirements.
