However. itis fited with several cutting tools that can be tought into position as Figure 15-46, Turct lathe operation. A—This machinists using ‘a magnifying lens to check a driling operation on a precision instrument turret lathe. (Louls Levin and Son, Inc) B—This part was machined from stainless stee! and produced in quantity on the turret lathe shown above. The part is only about 18" (3.9 mm) long. Figure 15-47. A large. versatile turetlatho (Warner & Swasey Co.) Figure 15-48. The multiple spinaie automatic screw machine is sed for precision high speed production. (Warmer & Swasoy Co.) Work that is too large or too heavy to be turned in a horizontal position, is machined on a vertical boring machine, Figure 15-50. These huge machines, known as boring mills, are capable of turning and boring work with diameters up to 40’ (12 m).. ‘Conventional metalworking lathes are manufac tured in a large range of sizes from the tiny jeweler’s lathe to large machines that turn forming rolls for the steel industry, Figure 15-51, Portable turning equipment is available for work in the field, such as chamiering the ends of large pipe prior to welding, See Figure 15-52, Computer numerically controlled (CNC) lathes and turning machines are widely used for industrial production. With proper programming, these machine tools are capable of producing complex work with great accuracy and repeatability. Note: A detailed description of CNC machine tools arid auto- mated manufacturing operations can be found in Chapters 21 and 22,
