These lathes can perform to turn end-faces, cylindrical surfaces and internal holes of various parts as well metric, inch, modules and pitch threads. The slides can be operated individually by power for cutting taper surface. Long taper surface can be turned automatically through the compound movement combining longitudinal feed with the top slide feed; moreover, the machines may be used for drilling, boring and trepanning.

They are characteristics of power, high spindle speed, highly rigidity. The various ferrous and non-ferrous metals parts may be turned through the heavy cutting by carbon alloy tools.
