Swiss-type Turning in the UK
120 of 2017 verified UK manufacturers on cmgraph's CNC Machining — UK lens offer Swiss-type turning — 6% of the cohort.
Turning on a sliding-headstock lathe: bar stock advances through a guide bush so the cut happens millimetres from the support. That geometry is what holds tolerance on long, slender parts, and the bar feed lets the machine run unattended for high-volume small turned components.
Also known as sliding-head turning, Swiss machining, sliding headstock turning or Swiss screw machining.
