Capstan and turret lathes are production lathes used to manufacture large quantities of identical parts quickly. Unlike engine lathes, they do not have tail stocks and can hold multiple tools that operate simultaneously. Capstan lathes have hexagonal turrets mounted on slides, while turret lathes have direct-mounted hexagonal turrets on saddles. Both lathe types are suited for machining bars and irregular workpieces. Common components include head stocks, beds, carriages, tool posts, and hexagonal turrets. Videos demonstrate their operation and tooling principles.
