When Looking for a Lathe
Ever since I was a child I have always wanted to be a carpenter, or at least someone who works with wood. I am very much impressed with men who could create great pieces of woodcraft with their hands. To me it is the highest form of craftsmanship that a man can achieve. I wanted to have that sort of ability that seems like the epitome of being a craftsman. Even now, when I am grown up, my view still remains unaltered. I still see carpentry as the highest form of artisanship that can be reached by man. That is why although I am very busy with my job I still find time to engage in carpentry as a hobby. I make all of the furniture that we need in our house. Whenever there is something there that needs to be repaired, I do not hire someone instead I work on it by myself. The results have been satisfactory so far. People who see my work all say that it seems like the handiwork of a professional.
One of the first things that I made sure when I decided to engage in this hobby is that I have to get all the necessary tools to get any job done. I bought a complete set of power tools that I could use. There was a tool that I wanted so badly but I was not able to get one right away. That is the lathe. To me a lathe is the most creative of all the tools that I could get. It allows me to transform the ideas that i have in my mind into solid and concrete creations. It allows me to be creative which is a very important thing when it comes to being a wood worker. Now for people who are like me who want to get a lathe here are some simple things to remember in how to pick a wood lathe.
The first thing to check is the motor since it is the driving force behind everything. Make sure that its rating will be enough so that it will not let you down. You have to figure out too, if you need a table top lathe or one that could stand on its own. If you will be working on small projects then a small one ought to be enough for your purposes. Make sure that the lathe that you are planning on purchasing will fit the space that you have for it. Remember that using a lathe requires space.
I have been writing online articles for a couple of years now, and you might have encountered some of them with topics ranging from cheap nook covers to the best polo shirts for boys. I make sure all of the articles that I write are useful and informative just like this one.

I. Functional role
Slideways are the “track” between the guide rail and the moving parts. They convert the rotary (or linear) thrust of the servo motor into precise linear motion of the machine table, spindle box or turret, while withstanding cutting reaction forces, shocks and vibrations. Once the slideway fails, the positioning accuracy and surface quality of the whole machine will drop directly.
II. Common structure family
Linear ball slideway
Steel balls are in point contact with the raceway, low friction and fast response, suitable for high-speed and light-load Swiss-type lathes or vertical machining centers.
Linear roller slideway
Cylindrical rollers are in line contact with the raceway, high rigidity and large load capacity, the first choice for heavy-cutting equipment such as turn-mill centers and gantry five-face machines.
Dovetail slideway
Triangular interlocking surface, extremely strong lateral force resistance, often used in grinders or ultra-precision machining units that require micro-feed.
Hydrostatic/hydraulic slideway
Oil film supports moving parts, almost zero wear, used for mirror grinding or heavy-duty boring machines, but demanding on the oil supply system.
On September 3, 2025, China solemnly commemorated the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Behind the pageantry that displayed national strength and a commitment to peace, countless Chinese manufacturers are injecting their craftsmanship and cooperative spirit into the global economy. JSWAY CNC COMPANY is one of them, answering the call for peace and development in its own way.
For two decades JSWAY has focused on high-configuration, high-precision, high-speed CNC lathes and Swiss-type lathes. Products now reach more than thirty countries and regions, illustrating the principle of “peace through development, excellence through quality.”
True high-end manufacturing is not only technological breakthrough but also stability of quality. JSWAY’s plant houses about forty thousand square metres of floor space, producing Swiss-type lathes, turn-mill centres, gang-tool lathes and turret lathes. Critical components are machined on horizontal machining centres, gantry-type five-face machining centres and precision grinders, ensuring consistent accuracy.
An engineering data centre and joint laboratory use laser interferometers, eddy-current displacement testers, wireless rotary axis calibrators, high-precision digital temperature sensors and real-time machine-error compensation systems to upgrade products continuously.
