Frequently Asked Questions
Gosan Lathes are high-quality Taiwanese metalworking lathes that boat a wide array of functions allowing any metalworker to get the job done. Gosan Lathes are famous for their advanced safety features, including interlocking chuck guards and electromagnetic braking, ensuring that when you use a Gossan Lathe you are as protected as can be.
Lathes create symmetrical components and objects by rotating a piece of material at high speed while the user holds a cutting tool to it in order to shape an object. Metalworking lathes can be used to create screws, bolts, nuts, or more heavy duty machine components. They can also be used to polish or finish symmetrical metalwork evenly. The basic working principle of lathes is the extreme rotating of the work piece, coupled with the careful application of a cutting tool.
Precision lathes function much in the same way as regular lathes, using the same operational principles but with one distinct difference. Precision lathes are computerised and automatic. Using computer software, a precision lathe is able to be fed a series of instructions that tell the cutting tool (attached to a robotic arm) how, where, when, and what kind of cutting tool to use in order to achieve the desired outcome.

There are 8 parts to every Lathe. The Headstock is located on the left and contains gears, spindles, chucks, control levers, and feed controllers. The tailstock is on the right of the lathe, and supports the work. The Bed is where all the parts of the lathe are bolted onto. The Carriage lies between the head and tailstock, and contains the apron, saddle, compound rest, cross slide, and tool post. The Lead Screw moves the carriage during threading. The feed rod moves the carriage left to right and vice versa. The Chip Pan sits at the bottom of the lathe and collects any chipped materials that may break from the work while using the lathe. The final part common to every lathe is the Hand wheel used to operate the cross slide, carriage, tailstock, and more.
