1、 Different working principles

The working principle of pipe thread lathe and ordinary lathe is different. The pipe thread lathe will use pipe processing technology, while the ordinary lathe will use straight line processing technology such as rods and plates.

2、 Different processing objects

The processing objects of the pipe thread lathe are various pipe fittings, such as pipes, elbows, etc. And ordinary lathes can process a wider range of objects, including round bars, square bars, plates, etc.

3、 Different processing accuracies

Due to the different processing objects, there are certain differences in the machining accuracy between pipe thread lathes and ordinary lathes. Generally speaking, the machining accuracy of pipe thread lathes is slightly higher.

4、 Different usage scope

There are also certain differences in the scope of use between pipe thread lathes and ordinary lathes. The pipe thread lathe is suitable for producing various types of pipes and fittings, such as construction pipes, oil pipes, natural gas pipes, and sandwich steel pipes. Ordinary lathes can be used to process cylindrical, conical, spherical, and various surfaces of various materials.

5、 Different power levels

There is also a difference in power between pipe thread lathes and regular lathes. The power of the pipe thread lathe is relatively small, generally below 10KW. The power of a regular lathe is relatively high, reaching over 100KW.

【 Conclusion 】

By understanding the differences between pipe thread lathes and regular lathes, we can better choose suitable machine tools for processing and production. I hope this article is helpful to you.
